Thanks guys.

I do need to do something with the canopy other than a light blue.

Cheers JTF

[cgutzmer]

I also added you to the contributor group for your work in recoloring :D

It looks great ! :)

I removed your attachment - too easy to swipe.... when posting samples only post small portions of the design to give an impression of how it looks :)

[Triop]

Chris.

No problem. I'll stick to partial screen shots and reduce the size some more in future.

Triop.

I was planning a build tomorrow but you beat me to it.

I see from the pictures a few changes are needed.


1. Extend colour onto nose flaps.
2. Extend colour on wings to go under fuselage.
3. Extend colour on tail wing flaps.
4. Extend colour on fuselage side down to meet wing colour.


Other than that she looks good.

I'll get these updates done and send them over.

Cheers JTF

[Triop]

She looks real good.
Hope you don't mind me posting those pictures, maybe I interfered to much in your project :-\

btw, I've given you a section on my homepage, hope you like it.

one more question, what program do you use ?
reasson for asking is that the f-5 was still in pixels and the spit was not.

[Triop]

lol btw, you can see how easy it is to miss small details when working on a paint job, happens to me all the time :P

[JT Fox]

Thanks for web page section, I really appreciate that.

I'm working with Photoshop CS. All work is done in pds with several layers and when finished, I do a "save as" in bmp. Don't know why the F-5 and Spit would be different.

Cheers JTF

Middle East Spitfire complete.

See 1st post.

Cheers JTF

[JT Fox]

Triop.

Just had a thought. :o

The Mk 1 Spit has only one under wing air intake, located on the starboard wing.

The LF VB Mid East has ans additional intake under the nose. It may also have only the one under wing intake, not sure on that bit.

It may be worth adjusting the model plans to suit so the build and the colours are different.

Also how may variation do you need for a set. I have info to produce 3 more if needed.

[cgutzmer]

WOW! you are cruising :)

[JT Fox]

Things will slow down. I'm building a metal shed at home and fell off the ladder.

Hurt my ankle, cut my right (mouse) hand in 4 places, one a very bad cut, and jarred my back.

Apart from that I'm OK. LOL

Cheers JTF

[PaperMakeiT]

Good luck then! I am starting again to work on paper after a broken thumb (my main thumb) and ligament.

[cgutzmer]

Oh crap! (to both of ya) heal well and quickly :)
Chris

[Triop]

Get well soon guys :D

The Supermarine Spit has 2 intakes, and that is the original design.

If you make a recolor of a different version you may erase the left intake you're self ;)

[Triop]

Great job !

Mist a bit though... ;D

[JT Fox]

All 3 re-colours have the same bit missing LOL.

Do you want me to fix it or can you sample the colours at your end.

Cheers JTF

Still digging for the non-airplane threeviews ;)

Hang in there...
