pilottj Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Hey folks. I decided to approach this project from a different mindset. With art project #1 I was trying to get too complicated and was trying to put 40s-50s streamliner curves and pin stripes onto a very '70s' shaped airplane. The Duke is somewhat of a unique shape from a painting perspective, it's not quite the boxy shape like the RV-7, thus limits some of the scheme. styles. I decided to shift my mindset to a more '70s' idea with the scheme, this is my result. I still may play with the tail a bit, but I think this flows with the shape of the plane better. I may or may not add nacelle art when the official T Duke paint kit is released. I saved the layers so I can try different color variations later, such as with a silver base. I also created a custom VC panel by combining the wood and black panels, I might work out a custom interior as well. Cheers TJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaydor Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Looking good TJ, good thinking outside the box as you can produce better texture that way. The plane may be of an older design but the painting does not have to stay in that era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilottj Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 Thanks guys, here is some updated progress. I went with a plain red tail for the initial version saved it, then started a variation with an added black stripe that curves up into the tail.

jaydor Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 This looks to be the best in my opinion, as the white extended up the tail is more pleasing to the eye.. http://www.fsfiles.org/flightsimshotsv2/image/En2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
