Great job on the AAF armor, came out nicely. Thanks for another USN paint, I have the "Imminent Fury" USN version that came with the original model.

Jafo , you did nice collection of beautiful skins
What a surprise!!! Simply stunning! Thank you Mister JafoOriginally Posted by Jafo
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].
The more you do, the less you dream
Hope you like it....What a surprise!!! Simply stunning! Thank you Mister Jafo
Here's the finished ver...now uploaded here...
Corrected the panel shape...added the 'fixings' and relocated the Ejector seat triangles to suit.
For sure IMO this one is far better than the first version!!! A BIG THANK YOU !Hope you like it....

This is the current Embraer Super Tucano Demonstrator as seen in Dubai in 2015 - just uploaded here.
I've kept it clean as that's the way it is...
The paintwork was fun as the stripes fade differently front to rear or rear to front....and not a bad look for what is a 'monochrome' colouring.
Edit....still more to come.
Here's "Santo Domingo de los Tsachilas" just uploaded too. [Ecuador AF].

I quite like that last one.....digi-camo always looks good...
Amazing work you have done here Jafo ! Mike
Happy that people are liking them...
Here's [in theory] the oldest of them, as it is the Pre-Series Demonstrator/Prototype. For the life of me I can't find its 'CN' as I expect it was repainted and sold into service.
Now uploaded here...
Stunning repaints Jafo! All real pieces of art

Hi to all Conrad's S.Tucano & Jafo's paints fans! May be I'm a little out of topic but I can't figure out how to put any ILS/VOR course in the HSI. Below the HUD there's a control panel but it's impossible to change the course ( at least for me).
The more you do, the less you dream
Here's another 'what if'....uploaded.
When I'm not painting these critters I'm an FIA F1 Race Official...so get to see the real thing....even way back when Frank still had legs that worked...
That is a long time ago. Those were the years during which the Williams drivers were fighting each other instead of becoming world champion..................Here's another 'what if'....uploaded.

This one is a cheat...as the real plane was a Shorts Tucano, not an Embraer, but it's a dash of nostalgia all the same.
The blackout looks a bit daggy....but that's how it was in the real one......now uploaded here.
The paint was to commemorate the 70th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain to represent a Spitfire of No.92 Sqdn RAF as flown by Brian Kingcome in 1940.
Edit..... I just found this link.... https://flyawaysimulation.com/downlo...-super-tucano/
Seems Paul Barry did exactly the same thing.... repainted an Embraer to match the real Shorts.
I'll have to check it out...see how different they ended up...
OK....done....here's mine....
And here's Paul Barry's. We've obviously worked from the same photos. I know my RGB colours are right...as they're from the code. but I kinda prefer Pauls wing roundels....makes mine look too 'bright'....yet they're from the code too.

I bet the colour difference is down to the spec norm and alpha...
I'm doing a few vers of 'what-if's for US aircraft variants....
Here's one [now uploaded] of a USAF South East Asian [SEA] camo style.....Turn up your 'Purple Haze' and head off for Thud Ridge....
Next one will be a VFA-122 ...

Great work on the Afghan A-29, Jafo. I've been following your paint process and noticed the armor missing. In a recent screenshot, I saw you had redone the texture, so I had to go back here to read up.
This is by far the best look. Even only 2D. Well done and thanks.

I pass gas!
Since you mentioned the other Shorts Taco paints, some have been done as the regular "black" trainers as well. Nice surprise on the SEA camo.

Yes, by the time you're looking at the Shorts there's all sorts of different paint choices...but they're all just more 'fakes' like the RAF Spitfire one.
The VA-122 in its early stages [also a what-if, of course]....
Edit....
I'm doing this ver to again be certain no-one's done it before [like the RAF one]....so I'm imitating a Corsair's paintwork layout.
Here's it coming along...
Edit again....
Kinda strange but quirky....
Nearly done.

I think I've got it....
VA-122 USS Lexington .... should be Navy enough...
Mr. Jafo, considering the very high quality of your paints, can I ask you a further painting request ? ( hoping to not bother you off course !
The more you do, the less you dream
menef....sure....as long as there's reasonable info/photos to help get it done...Mr. Jafo, considering the very high quality of your paints, can I ask you a further painting request ? ( hoping to not bother you off course !
Well, along with a brand-new FAB's A29B that we allready have, it should be nice also a dirty and weathered ( possibly with different codes ) Super Tucano like this done :menef....sure....as long as there's reasonable info/photos to help get it done...
Thank you
