ALERT! ALERT! ALERT!

The next pic you see will be a Work-in-Progress! (WIP)

~~~

... more work on metal effect, moved hatches, first phase of underside rivets done, more graphics an' lots of udder stuff.

Image

I will make a US version w/ green tail, (above) and an IreGreen RAF version w/Irish rounds.

This ends the WIP portion of our program.

Well, moooo fer cryin' out loud!

The name on the ac in the last pic is namesd "Bets". I s'pose I could add a "Y" to that?

Anywhen ...

Image

... still pluggin' along. Tons of details and corrections to old void and template. I need to make some decisions caused by shortcomings in the matting.

Oh yeah, and more rivets-rivets-rivets!!!

gah!

Emma Peel?

I'd rather ride this steed.*

I hope no one is getting tired of this semi-step-by-step stuff. It's meant to promote the art ...

Image

... such as it is.

More details, stencils, lines, matting issues, hatches and the dreaded wear to do, but the end IS in sight.

Notice how easy it will be to detail the canopy and turret surfaces. That's a rare treat!

* but Ms. Peel is totally hot ;)

Falc,

Looking good. Can I put in an advance requision for one in size '5'. Also, how are you in doing skins for Microsoft FS2004. I have a Yak-3 that just won't fly correctly...I'm sure its because it's not in the "FI colors"?

Formal order

Post by :FI:Genosse » Thu Nov 15, 2007 5:05 pm

Dear Mr Skinner,

I hereby order two copies of this impressive skin (either with US and Irish markings). I´d really appreciate it if there´d carry the number '14' and me humble name somewhere on it ...

Best regards ...

Frank the formal Germerman ^:)
