gabuzomeu Posted February 28, 2021 Posted February 28, 2021 Hi, I am preparing the recently displayed 2021 A-10C demo team livery (WiP image attached) However I am missing some info, specially on the camo seen from the top (wings, engines) . If anyone finds some, please pm me. Thanks 2 1 Details: Asus Z-170E, Intel i5-6600K @ 4.2GHz, 16GB RAM MSI GTX970 Gaming 4G Win 10 Home

gabuzomeu Posted March 2, 2021 Author Posted March 2, 2021 Yep, thank you, plus there is a short video on the demoo team site. This skin is based on the f-105 camo but given the difference in aircraft, difficult to guess details.... Well, patiencr will pay and we'll find more.

Ryan Dorling Posted March 5, 2021 Posted March 5, 2021 Hi @gabuzomeu, I'm actually the person who designed this paint scheme, I can help you with the camouflage pattern on the wings if you're interested ? Kind Regards Ryan 2
gabuzomeu Posted March 5, 2021 Author Posted March 5, 2021 Hi Ryan You're obviously the right person! First congratulations for the superb creation! You will see where I stand based on the photos I found, and the original Thud camo. Wings are best guess, and even more difficult, the engines , and fuselage (top and below at the level of engines) as it is hidden from view most of the time So, yes, any advice or doc you could share will be more than welcome! Many thanks in advance, Best regards Olivier 2 Details: Asus Z-170E, Intel i5-6600K @ 4.2GHz, 16GB RAM MSI GTX970 Gaming 4G Win 10 Home
Ryan Dorling Posted March 5, 2021 Posted March 5, 2021 (edited) Hi @gabuzomeu, Thank you I'm glad you like it, you have done a superb job in painting it for DCS and I look forward to its release to be able to fly the jet I designed the paint scheme for. I'm not sure if it would be possible but the inside of the nose wheel door is decorated as well, which I can help a little with. Here is the three view art piece I created for the team, so you can see the colours and pattern. Ignore the tail number as it was changed, so the jet you have #962 is the correct number. Kind Regards Ryan Edited March 5, 2021 by Ryan Dorling 1 2
abe_man1 Posted March 5, 2021 Posted March 5, 2021 (edited) From IG. Awesome work Ryan! So cool to see it in the flesh. Edited March 5, 2021 by abe_man1 1
gabuzomeu Posted March 6, 2021 Author Posted March 6, 2021 Hello, Ryan, many thanks, this helps immensely! I can give a try for the nose wheel door inside, if you have any indication, Overall I should have a revised version today to share. A remaining unknown is the black rectangular inscription below the left front canopy. Details: Asus Z-170E, Intel i5-6600K @ 4.2GHz, 16GB RAM MSI GTX970 Gaming 4G Win 10 Home
gabuzomeu Posted March 6, 2021 Author Posted March 6, 2021 This is it for a first version (model viewer is not A10c ii , so laser pod still on, goes away ingame) Will upload today, 4 Details: Asus Z-170E, Intel i5-6600K @ 4.2GHz, 16GB RAM MSI GTX970 Gaming 4G Win 10 Home

Ryan Dorling Posted March 6, 2021 Posted March 6, 2021 Hi @gabuzomeu, Here is the markings that are on the inside of the gear door. The Arizona state has names of the guys that sprayed the jet and a badge in, but as they are current serving members of the military I won't be able to give those names, but this is what is written on the door. Kind Regards Ryan 2

A remaining unknown is the black rectangular inscription below the left front canopy. it looks like you got it, but that "black box" will have the Pilots name, Dedicated Crew Chief (DCC) name and (i think) Assistant DCC (ADCC) name.

Ryan Dorling Posted March 6, 2021 Posted March 6, 2021 @gabuzomeu That looks great, I will certainly download it when it becomes available. Regards Ryan
Bananimal Posted March 7, 2021 Posted March 7, 2021 (edited) Hi Ryan, I was gathering photos to take a crack at this bird as well. My goal is to make it as realistic as possible. Would you happen to have any clear photos of the badges and the names list that adorn this magnificent scheme? I have a picture of 98% of the names, but there are two gentlemen talking in front of it in the photo and their hats block out some of the names. The second I saw this bird I knew I was going to paint it. Edited March 7, 2021 by Bananimal Typo ___________________________ Bananimal's DCS Mods and Skins
gabuzomeu Posted March 7, 2021 Author Posted March 7, 2021 You can read the list on the video of the veteran which is on the site of the demo team. You should also be able to read it on my skin version which will be available (awaiting dcs site validation) Have fun with making the skin, it's a beauty Details: Asus Z-170E, Intel i5-6600K @ 4.2GHz, 16GB RAM MSI GTX970 Gaming 4G Win 10 Home

Hi @Bananimal, I have not received the names yet, @gabuzomeu has made a good point above that there is a video of an old F-105 pilot talking about the scheme and you maybe able to read them from there. I look forward to seeing the finished paint scheme. Kind Regards Ryan

I would love to see your plastic model once it is complete, I'm currently building the 1/48th Hobbyboss A-10 and will be marking it up as this jet also. @gabuzomeu Did a superb job on the scheme for DCS.
