Beautiful. smile

SD


From the hills rebounding
Let this war cry sounding
Summon all at Cambria's call
The mighty force surrounding

Men of Harlech onto glory
This shall ever be your story
Keep these fighting words before ye
Welshmen never yield

Thanks smile

I edited a new changed specular template to allow me to edit it - this is a sample

Quite a few RAF, RCAF, SAAF, RAAF and other Spits popping up from the community already, but you're the first one I know to work on a livery with "full" stripes. Will be a very welcomed addition!

I haven't seen many of them , although I lost the original A2A template I still have a couple of dozen decal sets made for it so I'll be able to release them at a steady pace.

thanks to this template I can put my lunchtime hour to a good use - I set the specular file closer to what I need so that I can start to edit it , the colors are now more distinct from what came with the sim.

On another note - do you plan to make them more "restored-clean", or "warbird-battered"? I ask because VH-Rock made a set of cool stripes templates, with both "sprayed-and-straight" ones and rough, "field-painted-with-brush" ones (with glorious brush effect), which he's happy to share with anyone who wants:

I am preparing the template for weathering - that is why I need the clean version done first

the weathering will be close to the one I did for the MiG-29

This deserves an 'extra' Special Thanks

just like the contributions you use to make to ED back when you were a tester before you gave up and griped on about the poor customer service

I've completed an edited Specular template that I can use now, it is a Matt surface that retains a nice shine

Thomas, you are an incredible skinner, but I think your greatest strength is the weathering you apply.
And I can't wait to see that Spitfire when you're finished with it!
