I released my version of the Stranraer last week:
https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,35318.0.html
But my skinning skills leave a little to be desired; would someone with a bit of skinning experience mind tackling a new default skin? A "void" showing the mapping patterns is included, although there are a few issues with mis-alignment and stretching/mirroring here and there - so this one will require a bit of patience i'm afraid.
The version i'd most like to see is this green grey/light grey version:

It's the version I attempted on my 1/72nd scale model here:
https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,34591.0.html
I'm happy to provide help and advice, but i'd rather avoid re-mapping parts if at all possible.

As long as you have modding skills don't worry about the skinning! 

I'll try to make a default for you, and I'll definitely do some civil Stanraers (of Queen Charlotte Airlines).  Since it is summer (here) it might take a little while, though

Thanks mexchiwa; there's no rush on this, so don't worry about time. Civil skins sound good - i'll include a skin pack with the next upload if that's alright by you.

Mikoyan - my Stranraer skins are currently WIP. Sorry it takes so long- you do mods much faster than I do skins

And there's nothing wrong with your default as is - all you need are the panel lines\wing ribbing. I was thinking of doing that then sending it to you to put in your template, if that's alright

[mikoyan99]

Don't worry about it; like I said, no rush.

Some WIP shots:







A couple of questions:  Where are the guns mapped?  And the fuselage isn't exactly symmetrical is it?  (Not a big deal - I just won't try to get everything exactly lined up if it isn't)

Anyway thanks for you're great work and sharing it with us, and hope these look good enough so far.

They look fantastic mate - a real pleasure to see the Stranraer tarted up like that. As far as i'm aware, the fuselage is symetrical - I modeled one half and mirrored it to get the final shape.

With regards to the guns, i'm afraid I can't remember - they may well need re-mapping. I suggest ignoring them for now, and i'll sort them out at some point.

I think i'll shrink the pilots as well so they don't get truck driver's arm!

I love your bird, Mikoyan. Its really cool!

[mexchiwa]

Wouldn't worry about the truck drivers arm - after all, what is a Stranraer if not a floating, flying truck?

The civil skins are herehttp://www.mission4today.com/index.php?name=Downloads3&file=details&id=1739

Not ready to release the template yet - I think the fuselages may be rotated strangely relatively to one another, which makes mapping weird

[mikoyan99]

They look fantastic mate, cheers for doing these.
