C123 repaints continued.

Stalin escaped from his box and look what happened.
Nice schemes Mick, look forward to getting something I haven't painted myself too fly in.

I'll for sure download Stallins Beauties. Does stallin want to help out castro with a order of a c-123.
 
I've played with it a bit more, and I have updated my USCG paint too latest detail level.
 
These are beautiful paints! Excellent works!

I wonder, since both sides of Viet Nam are represented, what about both sides of Laos? Will Stalin help comrade Choummaly Sayasone with a C-123 for the Lao People's Liberation Army Air Force? :d
 
OK, this here one just went up the pipe.

Air America converted their C-123Bs to Ks, so this paint is right for both versions.

I painted this plane way back when Vlad first released it, but in those days I didn't know how to enable reflections in a model, so the repaint looked more like silver paint than bare metal.

Now it looks like shiny natural metal, but since the alpha channel now controls reflections, I could no longer use it to disappear the wing tanks, which AA apparently never used.

I like the shiny finish enough to accept the drop tanks.
 
ah something i can chase with a stallin special:d useing fsrecorder.Looks great mick and looking foreward to release.
 
'Nother one just went up.

This is an Air Force Reserve bird in the overall Aircraft Gray (aka "ADC Gray") livery it wore at the end of its service life. When it was painted the rudder and elevators were left silver.

Later I'll be uploading another paint of the same plane with the same markings over an overall silver paint livery. The photos I worked from were taken from the exact same angle and at a glance they look like two copies of one shot. Closer examination shows that in one picture the plane is painted silver, and the background in the flight line of an active Air Force Base. In the other picture the plane's painted Aircraft Gray except for the tail feathers, and the background shows the bone yard, with stripped out hulks standing in the sand.

I've always liked that overall Aircraft Gray livery. I think it makes any plane look its best.

Here's a screenie of the repaint and a copy of the photo.
 
Here's the same plane at an earlier stage of its career, wearing silver paint overall.

The pics show the real one and the repaint.

Compare the photo to the one of the same plane in the bone yard with the Aircraft Gray livery.
 
One more for tonight, the air assault tanker.

As usual, a screenie of the repaint and a photo of the original.

Two more cooking, might be ready tomorrow.
 
My thanks to Steve for the civilian cargo paints :applause:

Flying northeast of Yellowknife on another delivery.

Pete.

I was working on my grubby patched up bare metal scheme and I thought Pol Pot all of a sudden.
 
Just uploaded the SAC livery.

Here's a photo of the real one and a screenie of the repaint.
