Thanks a lot mate.

Now while I'm at it. Does the Mk.VIII skin fit on the Seafire, or do I need to find one special for that one?

[kristorf]

No mate it won't, differant length nose, panel lines etc.

Hmm, rgr Kris. It's just because I've seen people write that templates worked for Mk.VIII and etc....
I've found one Seafire template here, all metal though. But I will take a look at that one to see if I can use it for my needs.

Cheers

The seafire template here comes with layered cammo.
with Servals colours using gradient map, it should look like this--->

[RAF_Loke]

Yup downloaded it just after I posted my last reply.

One thing though, it look too bright, like someone spilled milk all over it or what shall I say?! Compared to these...







anyway it's a brilliant and first class template and it will be the one I will use for this next project.

Found the layer which caused it.

Added FBS's internal Spit/Seafire layer and it's already looking good.

BTW, the All metal layer is awesome. Did the RAF have any Seafires in bare metal?

[Jesters-Ink]

No idea, was made for personal use not historic skins.

There was one all metal MkIII that I know of, Lt Cdr G Baldwin (NN300, D5-0) 807 NAS



As for camo colouring, dark sea grey, slate grey, extra dark sea grey, extra dark slate grey, ocean grey and dark green were the main colours used on the upper surface with either sky or medium sea grey on the lower surfaces
