  • Oh, I somewhere had a fairline-style P-38 ... but I cannot find it. Could someone help me out and re-post it here?

    Thanks in advance!

        • Thank you, Gareth, for such an amazing piece of art. This isn't exactly 24 million colours, but I think it has to be done for us MGE buffs still around

          • Excellent

            Btw, Gareth: do you have a feldgrau version of the Wespe and the 88mm Flak/Pak lying around? ToT preferrably ...

                  • Holy , that thing's so top heavy one wonders why it hasn't toppled over by now.

                    • The Kikka was designed as an attack bomber, and only two were finished by the end of the war. While it was based closely on the Me-262, the exact plans were lost enroute from Germany. So it was somewhat different, as this pic demonstrates.

                          Before begining, I must pay more tribute to your Stuarts:









                          Done.

                          Thank you for the comment on the infantry, but the shading was Curt's work, and I merely lifted it. Credit should go to him.

                          Regarding the .png problem, I'm afraid that the units look dark because they ARE dark. Like Steph I'm also using Firefox as my browser, and they look exactly like that. It could just be my eyes, though.

                          Bummer about the tutorial . I think its somewhere in this particular thread, around the time you started blessing us with your fantastic TOT coloured units. Maybe we could ask the mods to scrounge it up and move it to the Graphics Workshop where it will be more accessible.

                          I wonder though- would saving under IE result in the saved png becoming darker? If so, then it would of course be best to use .bmps when handling TOT units. One minor nag though- they don't show up in attachements as you have mentioned.

                            Couldn't be more right. A common misconception is that the Kikka is an almost 1 for 1 copy for the Me 262 Schwalbe. There a several distinct differences that would be obvious to the discerning observer: For instance, a smaller fuselage that did not taper towards the tail. Internally it was only half the empty weight of the Me 262, had folding wings for storage aboard aircraft carriers and conealment in caves. No guns, and the engines were scaled down versions of the BMW-003.

                                Credit where it's due - they're a great mod

                                Enough with the bow-down smilies BTW

                                That's exactly the problem; I use IE (stupidly!) and I suspect that most others do too. IE darkens the units further; if I click and save your png it will be 10-15% darker than your original. There is a utility for stripping the gamma-correction thingy (Catfish, help: I don't know what I'm talking about ) from png's so that IE displays them correctly. I'll tral back through the thread.
