My first skin, Seafire F

I'm a little afraid to post it but here it is, my first attempt at skinning, mayhap a few pointers to help me with making it look better for the next one I do.

That's a wonderful first effort, congratulations! I love the Canadian roundels. The skull is a nice touch, too!

Re: My first skin, Seafire F

Thank you, guys. I found this site when I was looking for a font actually..found an AWESOME template, so an update is to follow. Same paint as above, just I can finally say it looks the way I had imagined it would. I know it won't be all mine this time, but it I don't mind sharing the credit with Jesters Inc, and Tony T, they made an astounding template.

An updated, slightly modified paint job to follow.
**edit: added updated picture**

Re: My first skin, Seafire F

Nice job Ender You fixed the only things I noticed in the first shot; the over-saturated blue on the wing tips and tail and you've got the marking to look like part of the plane. Good deal

Re: My first skin, Seafire F

Good first attempt.
Also a difficult one with the colours you choose.
If you make the blue just a bit brighter it seems to get some kind of glowing effect. You just got it right.

Weathering looks good also
