Repaint News:

You can see here a SLUFF from the 76th TFS which was Based in Britain. Notice please, that this pics are just WIP.

Whole plane.

Finished Fin.

After i finished the whole Plane, i will set up the little stencils. I think, it will get a nice look, when all little stencils are applied.

Cheers

I can't fly it at the moment as my FS doesn't work, but as soon as it does again,
you can be sure I'll fly a Corsair!  :D

News from the "Corsair-Painting-Center" ;)

Im now in the Late 80th/Begin of 90th. This Corsair flew in the First Gulf war in the Sqaudron VA-46 "Clansmen". It has Low-Res Markings (means Grey, Black or White). The High Res (colored) Markings are just for me to know, where i should place the low-res ones.

Here are Pics. The fin is nearly finished. I just must turn the VA-46 Clansmen a bit.

Image


But now a question to some other repainter:
When i loading the Plane, and i take a look from outside, the textures are sometimes grainy (or pixelated, fuzzy). Somebody has a solution?

It looks really great.
And If I compare your screenshots to original Photos, I have to say that Vought and the air force painted your repaints very exactly at their machines!!  ;D ;D

Unfisihed, pfff, but the Air Force painted their machines nearly like you did it!
Did they copy it from you? And don't you have copyright? ;D;D;D

Fine repainting Sir!

I see you're doing it the same way as I do, stick to just a few models.
Once you really understand the textures, it becomes very easy doing new ones, right?
Great stuff, keep it up!
