green scratches in the Apache cockpit - are these missing textures?

[Zyll]

Obviously a very minor thing, but a little peeve for me anyways. Since I've had the Apache, I've always wondered about these scratches, either they represent green paint under the black paint of the cockpit panels (and are intentional), or I'm missing a very minor texture somewhere. Just wondering if anyone else has seen this?

Probably paint primer. Since a good chunk of aircraft parts are made of aluminum, the best primer for it is zinc chromate, which is greenish-yellow in color.

Yep, I have those green patterns too. Part of the pit artwork.

The same primer can be seen in Boeing and Airbus cockpits too. Zink-chromate, very interesting, thank you very much for this info

Hey JetCat, I don't suppose you are able to remove these in your excellent clean Apache cockpit mod?

can we get a 15R with a bottle of black nail polish added to DCS?  Every SPC in the army should have some matte-black nail polish for keeping their sham shields invisible.

Hi,

I am glad you like my mod and sure I can do that. I have already planned it, but this will be an individual new upload and new mod with an "even more clean cockpit overhaul" because I like a little bit of wear and tear and two different cockpit options to choose from.

Hopefully I don´t get too preoccupied with that new awesome Huey and Chinook release for a few days before coming back to the Apache. I wish ED brings a full new glorious next-level Huey too some day.
