Hello guys, a little project I have been working on for some time now that I thought some of you might be able to use also.

Made using the void as a guide that was included with a skin pack by Sakai and intended to make two basic uncoded skins for the Thai Air Force (included in the download) to use in the update of a old campaign that will be altered to use the the new model Ki-30 by tvister in place of the previous Ki-51 that was used previously as a stand in because no actual Ki-30 3d existed back then.
I could not find any templates available, or Thai skins for the model I was going to use, so constructed this basic template for myself and anyone else who might find some use for it.
The mechanical layers from the Sakai skins are retained with new lines, rivets and other details by me.
Notes: I found the background colour and my credits showed in the cockpit of the model I use when viewed externally, I altered the texture called up by the Cockpit_D0 to use:

Internals
There are some mapping issues with the fuselage and rudder, the upper demarcated colour scheme used for the Thai skin is as close as I could get and is not perfect. The rudder stripes are raised higher than might be normal because if the Red segment on the port side is on the lower rudder line it also maps onto the fuselage below, this does not happen on the starboard side, I found that moving the stripes higher eleviated the issue.
The second template, "Ki-30 template Pale colours", is more or less identical to the first but has some of the lines and rivets with increased opacity so they show better against a light background.
Take care and be safe.
Wishing you all the very best, Pete.
