L4 Grasshopper

[masmith]

Here's my L4 grasshopper repaint

It is basic as there are problems with the way the plane uses the textures.

cool, a lot similar to mine but i have the wrong insignia fro the time those were used... though thats an L-2... L-4s had the extended windows on the sides and top, L-2s were basically stock Piper Cubs. glad to got the right insignia

Not quite right. Grasshopper is a generic term for light liaison aircraft by various manufacturers.  The L-2 is the military version of the Taylorcraft Model D. http://www.warbirdalley.com/l2.htm

The L-4 is the Piper Cub. http://www.warbirdalley.com/l4.htm

But it still has those extended windows in the rear (which is why I always got confused when seeing pictures claiming it was a Piper cause I thought it was an Aeronca or Stinson)

My one suggestsion to improve the repaint is to add in the vertical lines (the black and white ones)

Ive tried but its hard with the way the tertures are handled

If that's a repaint of the default Piper Cub, you've done well - that one's a nightmare to repaint!  So much reused texture all over the place, there's not much scope for anything more than a single overall colour.

Now that you're gotten your feet wet with repaints, you'll find most of the downloads here and at other sites are much easier than that Cub.
