Lancaster BIII WIP

Very much work in progress, but here is a pic of a Lanc that i'm playing around with in FS2004. I have just been adding details to the upper wing surfaces but its hard to know how much weathering to use as the plane is in fact in a museum and therefore very clean I still need to do something with the very dark props, fix the camo on upper wings/engine nacelles, do something to make the panel lines more subtle, darken the cockpit interior, reskin the crew!! and add stencils etc.... I think I got the black about right, the shade that came with the model was a much lighter grey shade and didn't look right. I used pure black, lightened it a little and reduced the opacity so it wasn't so harsh. Looks similar to colour pics of the lanc in flight?? Anyway, I work slow so expect another update in about a month

This is before I started:


And this is after....

Re: Lancaster BIII WIP

The Lancaster is my favourite aircraft of all time, wish we could fly her in IL2/PF!

Looking good! Keep us posted!

Re: Lancaster BIII WIP

Thanks for the comments guys. I did a bit more last night and its slowly taking shape. Its very time consuming building the template from scratch as there are 18 individual textures to work on Its all my own work too, even made the markings from scratch. I find thats the most satisfying way to do it

Re: Lancaster BIII WIP

Looking good HunBumpter, It needs a heck of a lot more exhaust over the wing, they used to get a lot dirtier than the B17's The green and brown looks a little weak in shade too, but early days see

And stuff so nose art on it too

Re: Lancaster BIII WIP

Er..thanks for the comments TinyT. But did you read/look at my post?? It HAS already got nose art!! Its called 'Just Jane'!! I guess your eyes are starting to fail at your age huh?? I also stated that I wasn't sure what to do about the weathering as the plane never flys, just taxies and ground runs, so it doesn't have the large exhaust stains of the combat planes in your pics (thx for posting them by the way ) I have a lot of pics that I took of JJ and the colours of the camo are quite faded on the real plane (old paint job!)

If the Merlins you work on throw out more oil than the Wright Cyclone you should ground the aircraft

Good to see you over here though
