Dornier Do-24K Dutch East Indies spring 42
« on: May 07, 2017, 02:14:51 AM »

Hello everyone. I've just posted on M4T a skinpack containing six Do-24 that were operating above the Dutch East Indies.
They're based o the excellent template from AX_theHitman with some improvments from my own.
I want to say a huge thanks to Max because his work is just beautifull and it's a very difficult plane to skin
(the most difficult I've seen till now. Nothing is symetrical and most of the lines ae curved ; It was a challenge to draw the band on the tail of some of those planes and I'm not completely happy with the result)
I've a little request to Zflyer48 ; is it possible to get a version of the Do-24K with the 20mm canon turret on the back instead of the machinegun turret ? (most of the Dutch planes were fitted with the spherical turret)
by the way, thanks for this beautifull MOD.

enjoy

Sakai

Super nice skins Sakai!
I am a fan of your skin art too  8) Thank you.
I consider you the master artist when it comes to painting Japanese and Asian aircraft of WW2.

I am sorry if some details on this skin-template is not 100% perfect. This is one
difficult airplane model to paint. I have tried my best for the moment.
Perhaps in the future there will be a better way to make it more easy to paint it.

Hello Max
I'm the one who say thanks !!!!
Be sure that I wasn't criticizing your work. On the contrary, I think that it is a great template, a very technical one.
one again thanks

Great to see some excellent and more do-24 skins for the Dutch East Indies.

I am really keen on and very very interested in this area campaign of W.W. 2

Thanks for your great work  ;D :D ;)

Cheers

Nice skins, sakai.

I believe you are  looking for something like this. Still working on it. Doesn't quite look right, yet, to me.

Exactly, that is the idea but I agree with you, it's a little but to mcuh shaped like an egg and it has to be spherical.... thanks for that, eager to see what's coming next about that plane
(and by the way, it could be great to rework the H6K Mavis because the one available is not very accurate and when I see your work with the Do-24, I just imagine an improved Mavis flying above Tulagi)

Good idea about the "Mavis" Sakai, but do not forget that it is a Frankemplane and
not an original 3d-model.

As for the top turret, I liked the original version, but if you are interested, I had worked on fixing
up some details on a similar looking turret from a Japanese bomber a few months ago. It looked
very much like this new version. Once I fixed up the cut-out glass panels with a new alpha-channel
and did some more detailed painting on it, it looks mighty nice.

The new Japanese bomber is called "Nell"
and was made by Gio - https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,46816.0.html
