VF-84 for Dino's F-14

[RobH]

Has this one been done yet? I looked around but didn't find anything, but sometimes I miss things.:redf:

If not, this needs a little more tweaking first, then I will upload it.

VF-84 was deactivated and VF-103 took over the Jolly Rogers motif. I assume that was when they switched from the A model to D, but don't quote me. I recently came across a VF-103 paint scheme. It can be found on simviation.com FSX Military page 53.

DO IT MAN!!! Er, I mean it would be great to have, who cares if the D model never wore it. Yer an artist with a license.

scale moderler will suggest you add some noise to black and/or white color, to make it more real,and bump.

[Odie]

Yes, please upload ! It will be a great addition to the hangar ! And, thanks in advance !

Wish this could be put on the nose: 21890

[Odie]

Yep, always liked those hi-viz paint schemes! Would look great on Dino's D-Kitty!

tpet - Great nose art! It's a Tomcat thing....:mixedsmi:

[airattackimages]

Any news on this gorgeous paint job? I want! :wavey:

[RobH]

Sorry, airattackimages. Due to the change in temperature in my area, I got my yearly chest cold, and haven't felt like painting. I have got some work done on her today though. I am just down to getting the canopy paint lined up where the fuselage halves meet, then she will be done. Have to get ready for work now, but should have her done tomorrow.

No problem Rob... hope you're feeling better soon!

Take care, Rob....I went all the way down to Texas last week to pick my cold up....:icon_lol:

[RobH]

Thanks folks!

Ok, she has been uploaded this evening here at the Outhouse.:salute:

I did a quick edit of the nose-art if anyone wants it.

[Odie]

Thank you, sir ! Much appreciated....:salute:

[neutrino]

I like the Tomcat :)

[airattackimages]

Awesome Rob! She looks like a beaut! :wiggle:

[tpet]

Awsome! Thanks Rob and Falcon

[airattackimages]

Rob, I love the paint! Excellent work :salute:

I have a request, should you feel it not outrageous of me to ask...


How about a couple shipmates for good ole AJ200 when you have the time again? Hopefully since the bulk of the work is done changing a few numbers would be less energy consuming.

I photoshopped AJ202 just because it was easiest to do. :) Would be cool to have one or two more!

[tpet]

Rob, do you have a problem with someone adding the nose art to this great paint?

[airattackimages]

I'd love to see it with that nose art... would be a great option :) I love it just as much without, but it would be kinda cool to be able to fly around with the art as well!

[wilycoyote4]

I'd've nose art. That's a great addition.

[RobH]

Thanks everyone.

Great photo airattackimages! Did you have any particular numbers in mind, or just make some up?

This is why I didn't mess with the nose art, as you can see, by the time its reduced, its very badly pixellated

But if anyone can do better, I do not mind if anyone puts in on my paint.:salute:

[tpet]

Ah, I see. Thank you for trying. I know very little about repainting. It is something I would like to learn more about in the future. Again, Thank you for the great repaint

[falcon409]

The only option would be to completely re-do the nose art as vector art and increase the texture size for the fuselage and other external parts to 4098x4098 which would require a completely new paint kit, a pretty time consuming process. The results would be spectacular but the time involved would be major.

[airattackimages]

Thanks everyone.

YOU are the man! :salute:

The only ones that I know absolutely for a fact existed were 200, 201, 202, 203 and 210... any of those would be nice ones to have I think, but if I could pick I would really like to see 202 and 210! :d

Here are a couple shots for a visual :)

[Bone]

I have mixed feelings about nose art on Tomcats, but a few more JR paints with different numbers on them would ring the bell...ding ding ding!

[RobH]

Your right Falcon, that would be the way to go, except for this plane. There is some major texture stretching about half way down the side of the nose. If you look at the second pic I posted the exhaust on the rocket makes a 90 degree turn southward. :banghead:

Ok, airattackimages, I will see what I can do!:salute:

[RobH]

Sorry for taking so long with these. AJ202 and AJ210 have both been uploaded here at the Outhouse this evening. Hope they work ok for you. :salute:

[RobH]

Here's a photo.
