Another request from Tom?!

[tomkilpatrick]

Hey guys. With the availability of IRIS' T-6A, and the new announcement of the Pilot Training Capability, wouldn't it be awesome to be able to fly a RNZAF T-6 in FSX? I might actually give it a shot as my first repaint, but in the case that it turns out to be a crock of shizer, would anybody be keen to give it a crack also?

Image time!



Time to try this thing out..

[Ian Warren]

Be a piece of dark chocolate cake for ya Tom , you will enjoy the slip slap slop .. attention to detail , markings ..

[tomkilpatrick]

Already propped a couple things up in photoshop..




I probably could have downloaded these from somewhere, but stuff it, if you're going to do something, you may as well over do it.

[Ian Warren]

I'm very surprised that paint has not been done yet .. Bigger is better tho

[tomkilpatrick]

What I have so far..




Should be finished and ready for download late sunday.

EDIT: Just looking at it, the '01' on the tail needs to come down, and be a little bit smaller. Can you guys sport anything?

NOW that's the story - little artistic licence and ya cooking

[tomkilpatrick]

Keeping you guys up to date, finished NZ1401, and working on the Red Checkers now. Also working on a little secret repaint for the T-6 as well. Will distribute as a three-way freebie within the week.. If all goes to plan.
