Thanks for the tip. A lot of work went into these and I appreciate the effort. My impression however was that the rivet details are quite heavy for such a feather-weight aircraft. Perhaps this was an aesthetic choice though. Are all the skins similar in this aspect?
Rivets would of been a template feature and nothing I fooled with......However, it depends on which set of skins you look at dependant upon template. Lastly, just like all aircraft the airframe utilized both rivets and screws....So it depends upon what and where you are talking about.
Finally, I received a PM elsewhere from someone wanting to inform me that though they found the camouflage and markings different it was not up to par in his opinion with other skins regarding differences......He stated chipping was the same on certain skins, dirt on others, scratches on others, etc.......So lets think about it. To make precise and completly different skins would entail;
114 camouflage schemes (done)
114 sets of unit marking schemes (done to a great degree)
114 sets of 30-40 visible serial numbers per aircraft
114 different yellow ident markers
114 different sets of stains
114 different sets of exhaust
114 different sets of dust
114 different sets of mud/dirt
114 different sets of scratches
114 different hinomaru border sets
114 different sets of chipping
114 etc. etc. etc......
All for aircraft you maybe get to look at for a split second as you pass over them or in a dogfight.......As it stands now run a coop say, use 30 Ki-43 and you'll most likely see either 30 AI with the wrong markings and all looking exactly the same and nothing like those used in New Guinea. This set offers the player to have full compliments of aircraft all in theme with the correct markings and camouflage and have EVERY one be different.
Checked at Flying Legends....Of the "34" skins available most being rare ace aircraft and most not applicable to New Guinea in either camouflage of markings but lets say to be generous 10 of them are........In that case this pack just incresed your availabe skins for AI 1,140%.
114 highly detailed exact blotch for blotch chip for chip skins would take how long?.....To see for a brief second?....In the end however, look in the 33rd, 59th, 63rd, 77th, or 248th packs and you tell me. Worth it or no?
