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

[Jafo]

Nice when they're easier....won't take long...



Edit...
It's finished...but the spec's not quite right yet.

[Jafo]

It's done...





Edit .....next one on the go...

[Jafo]

Done...

[Jafo]

Next one...

[thunder100]

Painted the 'Institut Fliegen' logo by hand....
Here's the brass/gold flaring....and I think I'm about done.... even the spec for the 'red' will flare orange [a bit] ....and there's a bit more to do on the alphas for both main and spec.

Stunningly beautiful Thanks

Roland

[Jafo]

Glad you like it, Roland....though I think the stripes have creases or tears in them...so I need to revise a bit before upload.

Meanwhile the UAE one looks complete...



Edit....now it's done....

BTW, if you're interested in the A-29B, here's a good article on the program and its cancellation... Bad headline, but the rest is accurate.

http://motherboard.vice.com/read/low-and-slow

All except the B-52 crew mistakenly dropping bombs on Capt Amerine's team ODA-574, it was a USAF JTAC that had been assigned to his team who was using a plugger (GPS) and forgot that when you reboot a plugger it resets to your own position. He changed the battery before the incident since it had a low battery indication. Then called in the airstrike giving that B-52 crew the coordinates off the plugger. It was the JTACs lack of attention to detail that got those men killed, not the aircrew.

I did a rework of Tim's included Alaskan State Forestry PC-7.... in HD.

[Jafo]

Finally got my ducks in a row..... and have just uploaded this one here...

Pilatus PC-7 (3H-FC) cn:414 Aviation and Air Defense School (Flieger- und Fliegerabwehrtruppenschule, FlFlATS), Austrian Air Force (Österreichische Luftstreitkräfte), Hinterstoisser AB, Zeltweg, Austria - special colour scheme celebrating 30 years AirPower 2013.

[Jafo]

Started on the next one. Managed to get the tail done OK...so the rest is just routine...



Edit ....getting close...

[Jafo]

Finished this one...and it's been uploaded here now...

[Jafo]

Going to redo the Austrian 'viper' [20 years] ....I think I'd ended up with the snake head too small... hadn't corrected enough for perspective.

Once done it'll be the next to upload ...

[Jafo]

Here it is with a 20% taller head....looks about right now...


....also tried a different spec...

[Jafo]

This one's just uploaded here....

Glad you're liking them, Dirk.

Here's the next one...early days....seems PC-7s like to have teeth...

[Jafo]

Gotta find some definitive colours for this one ....something I can 'trust' ....

[Jafo]

Maybe a bit closer....

Not a lot of photos around for it.

[Jafo]

Chasing the teeth on this Mexican bird was.....entertaining. Found out more new quirks on the underside.....

[Jafo]

I've been 'compiling' and rationalizing my paintkit to be small enough to upload/distribute. The problem with 4096 res kits is they can get kinda big.

Currently, as a PSP file [what I use] it's 52 meg ... and as a PSD it's 69 meg. And that's 'only' 14 layers.

When I originally set it up it was done in a way to easily edit and revise...so it had considerably more....namely 62 layers. PSP6 sees that as 2902.6 meg when loaded - or near enough to the limit of what a 32 bit proggy can manage [even LMA aware]. Actual file size is 135.2 meg.

Needless to say, the same issue applies to the Super Tucano kit.

I think some of the 'bloat' is to do with history relating to undo/redo ... but I can't see a way of scrubbing off past edits hiding somewhere within metadata ...

[Jafo]

I reckon this one's done.
Shall upload a few more over the weekend...

[Jafo]

The Mexican one's [above] uploaded here now.
