Bananimal Posted July 19, 2019 Author Posted July 19, 2019 I'm about 98% done with the camo bird. Then it's a few touch ups here and there, and the seat covers, Buno Numbers on the panels and the pack should be ready. Three four more day maybe? I will be working diligently this weekend on the final touches. Soon folks, soon. :-) ___________________________ Bananimal's DCS Mods and Skins

Mrjollyroger103 Posted July 23, 2019 Posted July 23, 2019 Awesome and great work as usual. ED's 106 paints are horrible looking, thank you for taking the time that you do on them, especially that camo one. I sure it took hours.
Bananimal Posted July 23, 2019 Author Posted July 23, 2019 That camo bird took 100+ hours. I always see a camo bird and go, "Ooooh, I can do that." I get all excited and about halfway in I'm cursing at Photoshop, which eventually leads to my asking why do I punish myself so completely doing camo? I won't be doing any others camo schemes for a while. I can tell you that much. Until I see another cool one.......LOL! Uhhhh! VMFA-134? No....No......Noooooooooo! ___________________________ Bananimal's DCS Mods and Skins
ams999 Posted July 24, 2019 Posted July 24, 2019 Hi Bananimal and thank you for these great skins! I'm especially interested in the 30th anniversary F-18 and I've noticed two things you maybe could consider: 1. One blue/gold stripe extends to the canopy frame which in the template (*1.dds) is located at the left border next to the inverted/upside-down '164630'. I think the canopy frame ought to be completely white. 2. It looks to me like the 30th anniversary bird uses the standard roundel with red stripe, not a completely blue one. Also, the blue of the roundel looks like the standard blue (which is slightly darker than the blue of the livery). This may also be the case for the text (Navy/Marines) but I can't definitively tell.

Dirty Mittens Posted July 24, 2019 Posted July 24, 2019 Thank you Bananimal for delivering these skins where as ED couldn't. I hope to see people using them online.
Bananimal Posted July 24, 2019 Author Posted July 24, 2019 Ams999, you are correct. That video is a great resource. I wish I would have had it when doing this one. Early on in the thread, there was some discussion about the color blue I was using. Seeing this video gave me what I needed to get it 100% right on color. I've darkened the striping blue and the stencils/decals as well. The decals are a tad darker than the painted striping as you can see in the video. Both are fixed now and the plane looks much better. I also fixed the roundels and added the red and moved the sun visor away from the canopy frame. I'm not sure how I let the blue/gold striping bleed onto the canopy frame, but I missed it on this one. Thanks for pointing it out. I'll be uploading a new zip file shortly. I'll let you all know when it's up and you can download the pack again. ___________________________ Bananimal's DCS Mods and Skins
Bananimal Posted July 24, 2019 Author Posted July 24, 2019 OK, the new file has been uploaded. If you downloaded before today, download Pack 2 again if you want the corrections. ___________________________ Bananimal's DCS Mods and Skins
ams999 Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 Wow that was quick, thank you very much!! Glad that the video could help you.

Nealius Posted November 11, 2020 Posted November 11, 2020 I have the whole Gladiators skin pack installed, and all but one skin works. The 30 year anniversary bird does not appear anywhere in game, yet all the others do.
=DROOPY= Posted November 11, 2020 Posted November 11, 2020 Any way you would be interested in creating an additional -106 skin? I have plenty of reference photos, and would gladly send you a frame-ready print of the actual aircraft upon completion...
