A new Bose sound system would be very nice...once the move is made. :lol:

If possible, could you add Sheila to the nose, and 24 to the tail? :D

One over he too Falcon if you have the time ;)

Number 15 and "Skipper" just below the cockpit would be great if you can.

Cheers

Whoa!

I almost forgot how fun skinnin' can be!

The Tempest void does have a dozen or so matching errors and some other issues to fix,

but compared to the Rat (I-16) it is a pure pleasure.

I'm doing the initial rivet thing now. I always do some graphic work at the same time cuz doing rivets is BORING!

... and the graphics are more fun.

Image

The metal effects and weathering will stretch my artistic abilities that are at best rusty these days.

Thanks for all the requests. I will do my best to do a good job.

Will I finish this skin before Oblivion comes out? (this week)

Image

If not it may not be done for weeks!

Wing lines, 3D effects, stencils, details, paint and general wear 75% done.

Fuselage lines, all hatches, dozens of wee details to do.
