Hey guys,

Now I'm not after a skin in question, however I'd like to attempt making the Spitfire F.21 some skins as she doesn't have many. I do realise that you can get away with doing a simple few edits to make it fit the type, however after testing a few blank skins the elevators are completely different. The cowling and other minor matters I can achieve but the elevators I've had no luck with at all unfortunately with many attempts, so for the sake of wanting to make and share some of this un-talked about type I'm asking some skinners or users if they know how to do this please... 

Best to all,
BlackAce (Eric)

I could be of Help, takes a few days to edit the Template.
I have collected surplus Holidays which I was forced to take, it's a jolly 3 weeks until
being thrown into a Home Office Pool, 

I would be apleased to grab a Spit again, as my projects took me off my belowed Spits.
Maybe a reason to grab this here?

Can you upload F21 Skins, I haven't found any yet, thanks


Cheers
Tobias

They both are of an ''altered'' template that the user Lythronax WAS going to release... however obviously he was never given permission. However I do feel you can do a better job with the work of yours I've collected over the years.

I hope I can make a skinpack of 21's... I'll credit you with the template edit and help towards the skins I make.

Godbless Tobias,

Eric

Permissions, bzzzzz
Nightshifter would have sent his Lawyers to Lythronax forcing him to stop making Skins.

Joke

Here's what only matters:
The " Do What The Frak You Want With It " license

and you having fun with it, the rest we can go BZZZZZ

Prepared my Sknil and Resources, catching up my Cat for our Netflix Session, have a nice Evening Eric.

Cheers

Haha you bet, thanks for that Tobias! Have a great night yourself.

Godbless,

Progress report, I have documents about definite internal framing of spars,
but at panelling the Literature seems to be not precise. So at some degree guesswork
is needed.

First in line are rough Lines aka dark Lines, next steps White Lines, simply clone or effect,
than Riveting and finally grime (darker paneling) and holes n stuff.

Cheers
Tobias

Fantastic Tobias!

The thing I didn't understand and looking at whatever skins were released for the F.21 was simply a XIV with it's panels to LOOK like a late Spitfire, also with this template you're creating is effectively also going to enable myself to make F.22 and F.24 Spitfires as the wing shape is effectively the same. The F.21 though DID have a rare success in 1945 when they destroyed a ''Midget Submarine'', overall though 120 were built.

I do have the information in regards to the aircraft flown hence why I and possibly yourself would like to make a few. The ''Afterwar'' Spitfires are unfortunately not well documented as you found out. Hence why despite my inexperience with modding a template I tried to adapt the current panel lines and shading but as to why I created this post in the first place was to no avail and thanks to you we'll finally get some Late War/After War F.21, F.22's and F.24's.

Again amazing work sir, you have no idea what this means to me.

Keep us posted,
Eric

I don't know if this E-Wing will be suitable for 22, 24, I haven't checked this right now.
But from the hip, why not....

But need to look up precisely.

[Knochenlutscher]

These are areas that need to be fixed for 22/24, there structural differences to F.21 as I see.

I can do this 22/24 re-riveting in the same fashion, since 22/24 is equal it'll be one Template for that to suit. Okay with that?

[BlackAce7727]

Perfectly alright Tobias! As I said these late mark Spitfires need some love. Keep going!
