There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

I have developed a texturing method that works well for me. It's probably not the best as there are many ways to skin this cat, but you will get good results. If you are interested I would be happy to try to show you how I go about the task. Here are some of the templates I have created for the SOH P-61...

I would be happy if you would show me how you do your templates and skinning.

Unfortunately my expertise is absolutely nothing that pertains to the model... due to my 25 years of observation of tankers, I offered to help with the FDE simply to verify flight characteristics and capabilities used in aerial firefighting.
