BoNidle Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 (edited) This is awkward, I suppose its unavoidable that clashes will occur, but I feel I should give you the heads up out of courtesy. I did this skin for the crew chiefs son: Eric Yocum and updated it for his website a few days ago, I was intending to release it in the next couple of days with some others including the same aircraft when it was handed over to the Taiwanese air force. I don't want you to think I'm trying anything underhand hence this post. Edited March 13, 2018 by BoNidle
==Wiggy== Posted March 13, 2018 Author Posted March 13, 2018 No offense here Bo! Yours looks fantastic! I'm still mucking around trying to get the nose paint material to look the way I want it to! That is fantastic that you were able to connect with that crew chiefs son! I love it when real life can collide with this hobby in such a way! Cheers, Rick CSEL\CMEL\IFR Certified Airplane Nut
BoNidle Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 (edited) Thats a relief, I don't want to upset anyone. The "collisions" with real life occur quite often. Through skinning for the IL2:46 sim I got to correspond with several WW2 P-51 and P-47, pilots plus provide some illustrations for a book on the history of the 368th Fighter group. Its a big part of why I do this. Check out Erics website, it's a treasure trove of research photos and just incredibly interesting all round. You will also see my skins on there under my real name. http://yocumusa.com/sweetrose/ Edited March 14, 2018 by BoNidle
==Wiggy== Posted March 14, 2018 Author Posted March 14, 2018 (edited) Already have that one booked marked my friend! ;). That's where I found the high res images. Those photos reveal much about the detail of the actual wartime aircraft. Edited March 14, 2018 by 000rick000 Cheers, Rick CSEL\CMEL\IFR Certified Airplane Nut

BoNidle Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 Nice work, the pilots helmet is a very nice touch too.
==Wiggy== Posted March 14, 2018 Author Posted March 14, 2018 Oh thanks for reminding me Bo! I must align the stripes on the back of the helmet! Lol. Would have completely forgot about it! Cheers, Rick CSEL\CMEL\IFR Certified Airplane Nut
==Wiggy== Posted March 15, 2018 Author Posted March 15, 2018 (edited) RELEASED! DOWNLOAD HERE! Enjoy. F-86F-30-NA FU-539 "DREADED GOMBOO/SWEET ROSE" Custom Helmet for Pilot Ken Ewing - based on photographs from Crew Chief Wally Yocum's Collection. I've tried to faithfully represent this one as best I can. I could have redone the Fabulous Rocketeers Logo from scratch or used a decal sheet set, but chose to use the image from a rare color high res photo from this bird available in Wally Yocum's collection. So that literally a piece of the real bird is flying with you on this virtual one! It's my way of paying Tribute to those Pilots and Maintainers.
