F-5E External tanks repainting templates request

Hello mates

I am working on Iranian Air Force Skins , which i guarantee they are 99.99 % Correct and accurate as same as Real Ones .

I am not professional Photo shoper or skinner , but i am working and trying my best , this means i dont know how to make "Fx" layers which show dirt or to ease for making Skins , anyway this force me only use Template Skins !

Does the paint you're trying to put on the tanks look like these, or different?

Hello , :):):)

yes the first picture , and there is another one which is different even with these at pictures!

Right. While there's no template, you can either open a tank file from a default skin or the default tank texture, make alpha channel for colour (on GIMP it's right click on image > transparency > alpha for colour > pick the main colour of the tank in the default skin) then create a layer under the main one and add paint there. That way you can keep the weathering from the default skin, but still colour it the way you want.
