Bell P-63 King Cobra "Pepper Louise" & bare metal by Gius!

**Cowboy1968** · May 16th, 2015, 11:12

I am glad we are starting to get the great rare birds that are showing up for our sim here, but I wonder if anyone of our model makers would be willing to update some of the older stuff. What i mean for example here is the P-63 Kingcobra was ultimate of the Bell cobras. We have a good but dated model, but we need one with the animations and so on.

Anyone want to tackle that project? Maybe give us both a P-63A and a P-63C?

That's his P-63 done in a hap hazard US markings. I would love to have a bird with proper markings but she works for now. I have always liked the P-63.

I would love her in correct markings....for USAAF

When you do the reskin of the P-63 could you do me a personal favor and name the bird Pepper Louise

A good day to everybody!

Considering the P-63 was practically never deployed in combat by USAAF, while it saw a lot of action on the Russian front, it would be nice to have an historical RKKA-VVS livery for it, too!

Cheers!

That is true as well, the Russians did some wonderful ground pounding with all the cobras.

I have been looking for a gmax P-63 for cfs2, so I am definitely interested in one.

Caro Gius,

Gran bella addizione! nonostante, penso che potresti fare delle migliorie... in quanto l'autore originale ha fatto
degli errori col texturing... Penso sia meglio incominciare da capo... senza che gli errori comessi in anteprima
vengano replicati...
Specie nelle ali, ci sono delle aree che non vano bene... non torto tuo ma dal autore originale...
Nel esempio aggiunto,

nota bene che ho eliminato delle forme discrete dal originale in maniera che non vengano viste dopo...(i.e: l'elevazione di pianta dalla coda)
Se come molto spesso le texture non corrispondono essatamente ai limiti del modello... allora lasciando
queste forme fuori... ottengono una finitura piu omogenea...
Insomma, questo esempio e' ai primi passi di una rifatta... mancano ancora molte cose... weathering... panels...
dettagli di superficie, etc. ma penso rendono l'idea di quello che cerco di spiegare...
Come sempre, resto a tua disposizione per ogni chiarimento, aiuto, etc.

Vedi se ci possiamo "vedere" con lo Skype...
Ciao per ora,
Carlos
