Red Bull B-25 and P38
« on: January 24, 2022, 06:10:57 AM »
Hey Guys,

I'd like to know if it was possible to mod the Red Bull "Flying Bulls" B-25 and P-38. Their skins are so awesome.

I know that the F4U's Red Bull skins already exists and I wondered if someone could create the other two skins:

Making skins using the readily available photoshop templates and  the high quality images of the nose art published on the internet for both of these aircraft is Child's play.

Sadly though, IL2 is not able to replicate polished aluminium skins well..... The best you can get is a sort of silver grey effect.

Thanks for your answer G !
Yeah I noticed that with a P-40C skin which is how you describe it. A silver grey effect ;)

Well, I hope someone who knows how to do it will see my resquest then  ;D

There are some really nice examples of "painted" wrinkled chrome skins, for B-29 and F-86 for example.

It takes some real expertise in skin creation to get this effect look decent though.

I probably did both of these (can’t remember - almost definitely the P-38). Check my skins at mission4today

Thanks a lot Mexchiwa !  :D

Indeed you've done the P-38 Red Bull in the "Racer Lightnings" pack, though I would advice people who are reading this comment to download the three packs upward because they are all excellent  8)

No B-25 Red Bull though (even if there is a US metal one which only wants a nose art )  ;)

Thanks again !
