F-14 Liveries (unpaintable spot)

[Lot2Learn]

HI everyone,

 

I've been working the 2 past days trying to make a paint scheme for myself. Never found the way to paint these 2 parts (see in picture).

Is there a way to do it ? I've noticed that every plane I've seen so far have those 2 spots, it's worse in my case since that bottom part is white.

 

 

Thanks

On the current models of the F-14A and B that we have in hand, the gunport and active purge vent are supposed to be bare metal anyway. It's not just the HB_F14_EXT_02 you have to edit. It's probably the equivalent roughmet as well that provides the metallic alpha.

Thank You Swordsman422, Now I can sleep better and stop trying to find a way to get over it lol...

One correction here:

 

You need to go in to the roughmets, I believe in the Blue layer, and cut out the little door in the rear gas purge vent. The whole thing is painted to be metalic/chrome looking, but there is a door there in the gun port that should be TPS/painted, ie gull or ghost gray.
