Classic British Flight Sim

A Valliant effort

Not convinced by the mirror image of the camo patterns on the two wings. Camouflage tends to flow across the top surfaces. (I spent a long time repainting an F-111 so I know how tricky it is)

Unfortunately there does not seem to be a whole lot of photos of Valiants in anything other than all white. Are there any Victor photos that you could adapt?

EDIT: two modellers attempts at the camo pattern

http://www.xs4all.nl/~designer/models/v ... iant-3.htm - this seems to be a bit sparse for the olive

http://www.diecastaircraftforum.com/att ... 1-001a.jpg - seems to be more likely if not a bit too much olive at the wing root.

I have found some pictures of camo Valiants which I can scan - none overhead but perhaps the location of the green at the leading edge of the wing will give a clue as to what happens elsewhere.

OK Ian....on it now fella.....

Thanks for the info

Hope my comments did not come across as criticism. Since you've made the effort to repaint the Valiant, I think that it is worthwhile to get it right.

Camo is never easy - trying to match where wings and fuselage join on different texture maps is tricky. So show us a screenie from above when you have progressed.

And I've just looked at my F-111 repaint - the swing wings added even more "joy" to the repaint - never again comes to mind.

Ni Ian....I love constructive criticism mate.........

It won't stop me now.....the harder the better......

Once again....cheers fella......
