A big tip of the hat toTim"piglet" Conrad...

Outstanding work, Jafo.

[Jafo]

The TBirds one is finished...

[Jafo]

The first 2 I'm planning to upload are the 2 that were included in Tim's release....the Brazil and Colombia ones.

As always there's an image I can't find....the squadron logo/whatever on the tailplane of the Colombian. One I used here isn't it.

I did a unrealised HD FAC repaint of the A-29 myself for some time ago and what you need is the badge for Escuadron de Combate 211. I remember finding a hi res picture of the badge somewhere on the net.

Jens.....yes, I finally worked out it was the 211 ....got an 'OK' res of it....still looking for a better one.

Biggest issue was knowing nothing more accurate than 'Colombian' ....

Here's how it is now...

[Roger]

Great set of repaints Jafo!

[Jafo]

Compiling the first few for upload....
....meanwhile am doing this one....

[flaviossa]

Nice! Didn´t know that one

[Jafo]

These two are the first two uploaded here now.
They are both reworks [repaints] of the two included by Tim in his 2008 release....now rendered in 4096 resolution [DDS DXT5 format]...

[flaviossa]

Thanks for the first two Jafo! Will fly with them tonight!

These look great. Where can these repaints and the improved cockpit be downloaded? I'll have to move my A-29 from "Davis Monthan" {my archive folder} back to active status.

The uploads are here in the 'Warbirds Library' ....look under 'new'.
I haven't released my widescreen 2D panel as yet....more to fiddle with...

[Jafo]

I'm still 'fiddling' with my paintkit....and have revised the linework, adding 'dirt' and panel colouring.

Here's the 'before'...



...and here's the 'after' ...

[huub vink]

Looks great Jafo!

Afghan AF version as at Moodys AFB has been uploaded here.
There's a pic of it looking particularly dirty [must have been fuelled with diesel] so I did it that way...




Edit....note....this particular critter has external armour plates on the fuse.....they're not modelled so I've ignored them.

Edit 2 .... the Burkina Faso one has also been uploaded here...

[Jafo]

Hi Mister Jafo! I was thinking about the armour plates on the afghan bird : could be possible to reproduce them
drawing them as any other lines of the paint? On the real plane they are very evident and distinctive so rather than nothing ...
I know NOTHING about painting so excuse me if my suggestion is not possible! One more time THANK YOU for all
your beautiful paints!

I thought of that but they're quite 3 dimensional so a flat-paint representation of it would look like a cardboard cutout....just a little too 'fake'.
I'll add the 'shapes' to my paint and post a screenshot to see whether people would accept it as a compromise...

Edit....here's what I came up with....down and dirty 'quick fix'....will always look 'OK' in a screenshot that is 2D ...but in the flesh [in game] it'll always be a bit less than ideal.
I can upload this as a second variation....[when I do the right side too...and adjust a few details].

[Jafo]

OK....was having some fun....saw someone had done this to a Hawk....so....



Might be worth finishing...

[flaviossa]

Nice Williams of the skies!

And here i´m doing an early target practice at Cachimbo Air Base (SBCC). Thanks for that!

[Jafo]

This one was the most fun...
I'll upload it presently....just helmets and tanks to do.



Edit...helmets styled to match...and 'Mobil 1' tanks....

[Jafo]

I updated/finished the 'flat' armour panels on the Afghan one.
Not hard to do...even if it's a bit of a cheat...
