Thanks a lot for your work on that template, MB. I'm thinking of some requests, but I guess you already have many.

Hello everybody, I've now created a masking layer and eliminated any bleeding of that onto the skin, also established the upper and lower demarcations.





Now that is out of the way the real work of doing the ribs and such can begin.

I haven't had any specific requests myself juanmalapuente but any thread dealing with
this aircraft has a few, just add yours.

The idea is primarily to make a basic template that you all can use, it won't be any major
work of art but will hopefully have enough detail to it to allow each of you to make a few
skins of your own.  I will produce a few skins but the intention is to allow you guys to do
your own thing.  The masters of the skinning art can add their own blend of magic, the
rest of us can just slap on a bit of paint and go.

Wishing you all the very best, Pete.

Been looking at where these aircraft served, the list seems endless, a skiinner could devote a lifetime to it.

In game markings do funny things on this baby, and the mapping can catch you out



I was doing the ailerons and rudder ribs and found they were not exactly where I thought they were, all
sorted now though.

All the best, Pete.

Thank you very much for the images Robhans, they will certainly come in usefull.  Just Champi has also thrown some pics into the pot of various aircraft under restoration as well as some in museums.

Glad you like it so far Crazyflak, trouble is I cant seem to settle on a style for the ribbing on ailerons and rudder at the moment and have changed things a few times, this is holding progress up at the moment.   On the original default it seems quite elaborate and I tried to replicate that but wasn't really happy with it.  The images Just Champi sent would indicate it is really very simple and that is what I've tried to capture here.







It maybe that various manufacturers went about things in different ways, the effect on the original default almost resembles that on the 109 fighters, yet I can't confirm anything from photographs other than the simple style above.

Wishing you all the very best, Pete.

Getting there.





All the very best, Pete.

Now, those are good looking dresses for the Bucker!
I like this kind of colourful schemes, seem to fit very well with the type of plane.
Very good work!

Hello guys, glad you like them.   The template is very basic but hopefully there is enough there for those interested in this bird to make a few decent skins.  My intention is hopefully to upload the template tommorow, I'm going to delete anything from the original that I've decided not to use, bit drunk at the moment so won't be doing it tonight.

I've credited Verhängnis as the maker of the original template and acknowledged I've used some layers from the original, maybe I need to confirm this before I do upload it.

I'll upload the two skins shown in the thread but don't think I'll be doing any others, I'll leave that to anyone who feels the need.

It was important to do a couple of coded examples just to check how the model maps these things, the Swedish example will show you what is necessary once you see the template.

Wishing you all the very best, Pete.
