Soviets Desert skins
« on: March 04, 2013, 08:10:37 PM »
Hi everyone,

   I request some desert skins for some Russian aircraft. Why I requested this is because I wonder what desert combat would be like if Russia fought the Germans in North Africa (hey, my imagination has no known bounds). The following aircraft I request is:

I-16 Types 18, 24, 28, and 29
MiG-9
Yak-1, 1B, 3, 7A, 7B, 9, 9B, 9K, and 9M
Tu-2
Il-2s (all of them)
LaGG-3s (all)
La-5, La-5F, and La-5FN
La-7 and La-7 3xB20
Pe-2 (all)
Pe-3 and Pe-3bis
DB-3 and Il-4
SB-2
Yak-15
I-185
I-153

     I would appreciate all of those skinners out there who respond.

       Cheers,

          Einfeld

EDIT: Found a few skins. See post #11.

Hi everyone,

   I want ........I want this.....aircraft I want.....


Einfeld, i'd be very careful about asking for anything using the above words.
more often than not, if a guy who otherwise might have helped you, sees 'i want..' all over the place, he just switches off straight away.
nobody likes posts that sound demanding.
if you change your terminology, you might have better luck..... ;)

   The skins can be two shades of yellow in a splitner camo, much like the P-40. But the I-16s can be all yellow. It's just an idea I was looking for.

if you use a decent paint program, it should be a relatively simple task of adjusting the color settings on an existing skin, to get the result you're looking for, but i doubt it'll ever look as good as an original painted skin.
here's a pic of a Lagg i did several years ago, using this method. literally took me 5 minutes to do.
i was doing a series of VVS desert skins at the time, but lost it all in a hard drive crash... :(

First of all, that looks awesome.
Second of all, I'm sorry that you lost those skins. If they survived, they would have been a great addition here.

P.S. I'm unable to get a decent paint program due to computer settings.

I had a few spare minutes, and did a quick desert conversion for one of the stock La-5 skins.



i have attached it below, so you can try at least one, for now ;)
