[New Skins] A-7 Corsair II

[JF00]

I'm working on 3 versions of this attack aircraft: Greece, Portugal and US Navy during '60

The skin is not easy to apply on the model and the gloss effect is not good with US Navy white wings
I'll test them in game this evening before add them to the database.

Perfect! Amazing!

May I suggest future jobs? Maybe you could work on new skins for available Harrier, B-52 and F-104 aircrafts. And if some day, you invest in ship's reskin career I give you other suggestions, as well.

F-104 is on my duty list

About B-52 and Harrier i don't know, maybe later.

@ Duque d'Caxias

thanks, i´m still here and read (why you didn´t posted constructive critism in the thread?), but

@ JF00

because i know how bad the UV map is, great job! With the F104, if you like the design, start, if not, i didn´t uploaded the model to the database because there was a request to reshape the wings and wing tanks (but i don´t think i will change the UV). And finally, do you think a FX version of the A7II would help to solve the gloss effect?

A-7 UV map was a pain in my ass... really
I could not paint a correct roundel on the rear fuselage and a lot of things were distorded.

I'm not very satisfied with the texture with NifSkope but US and greek ones look good in game. Don't worry about the gloss, the bad effect was only in NiFSkope, it disappear in game.
I'm thinking about redo portuguese corsair with the greek template.

I'll look at the F-104 model asap

Edit: F-104 work in progress screenie added

Sorry The Coyote. Criticize yor work wasn't my intention. You are an ARTIST. Yor models are brilliant. I only wanted to motivate our friend J100. He is becoming a specialist on improving existing models skins. Don't you think so?
My fault! Forgive me!

@ JF00
i know this problem, getting a good round rondel is more than hard (i would call it almost mission impossible).
The F104G looks good (and from this perspective i start believe that the wings a really a bit to small )
Edit: changed F104 done

@ Duque d'Caxias
don´t take the above post to serious, or why you believe there was " ". I want (constructive) critism, and i would say i´m far away from being a artist . So no need for unnecessary praise (or sarcasm ).
I only made this remark, because i still don´t know how i could improve my own skins (and would be pleased if somebody tells me how i can paint "more realistic" skins for my models, or what makes my skins look unrealistic. Because skinning is, at least i think so, one of my weak point when making a new model - if i only compare my and bernies14 skins for the eurocopter i could start to cry ).
And yes, motivating others to get good reskins for existing models is always good idea
