Thanks for your kind words,
Yeah the Spitfire/Lotus and Mustang/Mclaren are almost ready, a few small things to iron out here and there.
It is not that hard to make them look good when the originals are quite stunning themselves. The "bare metal" Mclaren livery is really something unique, and as far as i'm concerned there hasn't been a more beautiful F1 car than the JPS Lotus 79 ever.
I'm still fiddling with the Corsair/Ferrari 27, thinking maybe to give it bare metal wings.
The NASCAR Montoya Thunderbolt is a huge headache, it is the first time i attempted to skin the Jug and the mapping has so many quirks it is just ridiculous. I might decide to completely redo that one.
There a few more coming, like a Ta-152 in the guise of Steve McQueen's Gulf Porsche 917 from the movie Le Mans which is already in the works, and i also plan to do a Jim Clark Lotus 49 - the famous BRG with a yellow stripe livery, a Richard Petty 43 NASCAR skin, as well as a Unser Jr. Penske Indycar (Marlboro colors)... Maybe a Shelby Cobra type skin, dark blue with two white racing stripes across the top...
Once that's done i might do a BrawnGP (though i don't like the looks of that car at all) and an Alonso Renault but the old blue-yellow combo, not this awful new one.
EDIT: Keep an eye on the opening post, i'm updating it with new screenshots...
