Carenado, in their wisdom decided that the VC view would be served well enough by using the same piece of texture real estate. <_<

 

The problem is evident, the help comes in by deciding should I lose the race number completely, thus losing the errant 5. Or should I keep the number, thus making the paint authentic, at least from the outside?

Keep the number, you have the best of both worlds so to speak.

The errant "5" is a mirrored image, thus it is displayed backwards.

I did know that. The problem is that it shouldn't be there at all. But thanks for your input. :smile:

What I'll do is to make two textures. One with numbers which will include the 'errant' 5. And one with no numbers which will show....er...no numbers. :rolleyes:

Then the choice will be up to the user.

Ooh! So much angst. :lol:

Crud, all my hopes are dashed.  I thought you'd come up with one of these:

Yes, but now everyone is happy.  Well, except for Rod O., who was thinking of a completely different B-58. :lol:

Well, I am quite happy as well (once I got over it :smile:).

 

Sorry for my transgression Ron, it's just that I have a soft spot for that planet killer and obviously could not resist the temptation.  BTW, I do think your paints are top notch!

I am very encouraged to see that you are working on repaint(s) of the Baron B58.  It still is one of my favorite planes.  I will take the number any way you give it to me.

If we could have 4 more votes for 'Why ask me...' I can call it a draw/tie. :biggrin:
