I can fix them in a later update, however I used bodily proportions to get the size. My boot size is the same as my forearm, and if you look at the pilot in external view, the boot prints are almost the same size has the 3D pilot's forearms.

There is no need to fix it, thank you anyway :) it´s awesome as it is. In 2D it´s perfect but in VR they are bigger, just find it funny and not a complain :)

 

PS: my favourite liverie so far. Thank you again for giving love to the Hornet.

@Megalax I really appreciate all your Canadian Liveries - the 4K ones really are a step above the defaults.

I did not know the "master screw" was a thing! Lol... Should the master screw be a "Robertson Head" because that was invented by a Canadian? Lol...

Great meshwork as well, it is all fantastic.

  • You should update the FIRST page of this thread with the download links and or links to your other Skins in the User files Downloads. I just downloaded the Canadian F-14 one for fun and have enjoyed the MB-339 4K skin for a while.. thanks!

Dude . . . Seriously . . . You are NOT supposed to be putting up photos of the real thing and claiming it to be a skin!

 

😉

 

Fantastic work, truly beautiful.

I tried basing the weathering on some CF-18 photos myself as they seem to get the grimiest of all. I hope you enjoy them.

GREAT work on the lamp of the Finnish Hornet!
Thanks!

You could work with Kapsu to correct the colors and the weathering of the Finnish skin. Maybe share him the PSD-files?
Since, well, it seems you approriated some of his work in this one?
