These look great. Where can these repaints and the improved cockpit be downloaded? I'll have to move my A-29 from "Davis Monthan" {my archive folder} back to active status.

The uploads are here in the 'Warbirds Library' ....look under 'new'.
I haven't released my widescreen 2D panel as yet....more to fiddle with...;)
 
I'm still 'fiddling' with my paintkit....and have revised the linework, adding 'dirt' and panel colouring.

Here's the 'before'...

...and here's the 'after' ...;)

Afghan AF version as at Moodys AFB has been uploaded here.
There's a pic of it looking particularly dirty [must have been fuelled with diesel] so I did it that way...;)

attachment.php



Edit....note....this particular critter has external armour plates on the fuse.....they're not modelled so I've ignored them.

Edit 2 .... the Burkina Faso one has also been uploaded here...

Hi Mister Jafo! I was thinking about the armour plates on the afghan bird : could be possible to reproduce them
drawing them as any other lines of the paint? On the real plane they are very evident and distinctive so rather than nothing ...
I know NOTHING about painting so excuse me if my suggestion is not possible! One more time THANK YOU for all
your beautiful paints!:very_drunk:

I thought of that but they're quite 3 dimensional so a flat-paint representation of it would look like a cardboard cutout....just a little too 'fake'.
I'll add the 'shapes' to my paint and post a screenshot to see whether people would accept it as a compromise...;)

Edit....here's what I came up with....down and dirty 'quick fix'....will always look 'OK' in a screenshot that is 2D ...but in the flesh [in game] it'll always be a bit less than ideal.
I can upload this as a second variation....[when I do the right side too...and adjust a few details].

This one was the most fun...;)
I'll upload it presently....just helmets and tanks to do.

Edit...helmets styled to match...and 'Mobil 1' tanks....

I updated/finished the 'flat' armour panels on the Afghan one.
Not hard to do...even if it's a bit of a cheat...;)
