Hellenic Vipers


Santus

Recommended Posts

Greetings everyone

 

with the release of the official template by ED, I would like to inform anyone that may be interested that I have developed a series of Hellenic liveries as I had done earlier for other aircraft.

 

This was a 14-day endeavor that produced 23 liveries, all based on the Hellenic Ghost Camouflage Pattern.

10 are active duty liveries, including the recently (2011) disbanded Jason Squadron and 13 are liveries that were created to celebrate special occasions.

There are more Hellenic liveries that I would love to develop but unfortunately they fit on other type of vipers than the one we have today (April 2020) in DCS.

 

I will try to maintain these liveries playable as time permits.

Template analysis is finished. That went faster than I anticipated!

I never liked it while painting, when the base color texture is split into more that one psd, but when it comes to analysis, it really helps.

 

Onward with the painting now, wip screenies inbound.

 

Looking forward to these skins. :)

 

Good luck with your project.

 

That is nice to know! To fly them or shoot them down, I can only wonder! :music_whistling: :lol:

Is there any chance you can create a blank base without the Greek markings, as the USN F16N's use the same base camo scheme I believe ??

will you add more dirty lines or will it be different from one skin to an other?

 

I believe ED has made a great job with the weathering, I won't be adding any more.

 

I want to cover this skin with zeus

 

it would be cool !!!

 

I was never against sharing my work, go for it.

 

Nice Work. S!

εχω κατεβάσει ολά τα σκιν απο Φ5 και C130.

 

ευχαριστώ πολύ. Τώρας που είπες F-5... θέλουν update τα περισσότερα από εκείνα. Να δω πότε θα βρώ το χρόνο!

Not 100% the same color tones but quite close I believe.

Are you a skinner or do you want me to develop the USN one?

I made some skins for the old VSN F16 N variant, but if you can create the F16N, it would be great, that's if you're free to do so :D

Template creation regarding drop tanks and pylons is going well..

I would be happy to do that for you Oban. After I finish this project though :pilotfly:

Do send me some images of the exact aircraft you wish when you can.

That is exactly the same camo scheme and colors.

You were right.

I will develop it right after the Hellenic ones

 

Cheers
