Anybody know where these items are mapped to on the C-1A paintkit?

Hi John,

The antenna mounts are part of the tailsc1a.bmp texture (see attached).

The loop antenna is mapped to this area if the msparts.bmp.

Hope this helps.

[johndetrick]

It sure helped. Now where are the wheel wells mapped to?

[Milton Shupe]

The nose wheel well is not mapped for detail.
The nose and nacelle doors inside panels are mapped to the tailsc1a.bmp.

The main gear wells are mapped to nacelle-inner.

In my readme files with my textures I said to make a copy of the base texture (VAW-121) that came with the model not remembering that it had a ships name on the nacelles. Attached are the nacelle textures with out any ship names for my texture sets 8921, 8128, and 8135. Don't do this for 7213! Unzip and copy into the applicable folders and overwrite when prompted. My apologies to all! My only excuse is "CRS"! (Can't Remember Stuff)

Edit: Just uploaded in the file library as well!

Thank you very much for these textures. They are awesome!

I really appreciate you diving into these ... so many to do, so little time.

Good afternoon,

I included these engine nacelle files in the three packages indicated, and then made a note in the three file packages, so that way I could delete the correction. The files are in the same place, but I will list them here.

Just awesome, I like the bold scheme! :salute:

[Duckie]

Thanks Everyone, for your interest and encouragement. Have one or two more "bright" schemes I'm looking to do for the S-2F3. I can also throw in some "Plain Vanilla" work horse S-2s and E-1s if the interest is there. :salute:



Steve

[Milton Shupe]

I do look forward to your renditions sir! Bring'em on!

[Milton Shupe]

Would also love to see more from johnh_049 as his work is outstanding as well.

[vonernsk]

Steve,

Keep up the early colourful paints. At present Mil and Navy Avn is grey, grey, grey, with the only variation being clean grey or dirty grey. Some of the United States Navy colour schemes from the late fifties to the late sixties are outstanding.

Many thanks for all of your works so far. Much appreciated and much flown.

Watching Milton and his team producing the recent G7 project has given me a humbling insight into the sheer personal committment and skills of you guys. My sincere thanks to you all.

Hey Duckie, You know you could do three different squadrons with this scheme. VS-71(Red), VS-72(Yellow) and VS-73(Blue). All three were part of CVSGR-70. All used the AW tailcode! I found a few pics in the Hall Park Warpaint book on the Stoof. If you don't have the book, I can scan the pics for you!

SuuuWeeeeeet!

Thanks very much Mal. Point taken and very much agree. Love the USN gray over white schemes.

Hey Dave, 73 (Blue) is definately on the menu but haven't been able to find any of 72's birds on the web. I'll take you up on the offer of a scan of a 72 bird. Also, Dave, the emblem (sq. patch) on the side of the VS-71 S-2 I'm doing at the moment, you wouldn't happen to have or know where I might find a good enough shot of it so I could make one would you? Otherwise I'll just change the tail number to one without. But anything to add character to the subject is always good.

I'll PM my e-mail to you. Thanks very much for the offer of the scan.

A suggestion for P3AEWGuy (and all Stoof painters, as well) to add even more realism to the fantastic S2F skins.

I made an observation to Milton regarding the "piano hinge" visible on the starboard side of the Beta S2F, namely that it should be removed. Milton stated that it was painted, not modeled, and that he would so-advise Snurdley (who had painted the Beta).

The origin of the starboard piano hinge dates to the very early S2F when Milton initially used a full-width weapons bay before realizing the Stoof has only a half-width bay. So if you have not as yet released your repaint....
