I got pretty broad shoulders to look over...

[One-Eye]

When you pick up one of the ACES default planes and start an external textures paintkit, you begin to realise just how good the MS default aircraft are for detail. Even if it currently looks like Old Rafferty's Motor Car right now, with all those shades, you can see just how far ACES went into modelling detail parts for their planes.

Just take a look inside the engine intake - there's bits modelled right inside! And as for the tail gear... I think the Maule is also begging for the "Redux" treatment, i.e. new air file, new bumps and definitely new skins!

Once you know where all the bits are, the Maule paintkit becomes quite sweet.

Dirt another day.

Chris,

They're looking really smart.  I'll have to get my other specs for the "spot the differences" quiz.

I like the green "details", fairings, etc., and I see you've done the back end control surfaces green but not those on the main plane.  Just a comment...  It's far better than I could do.

Looking forward to getting one in my hanger.

Looking really fine!  Even tho I have the Bird Dog I could actually fly with only default aircraft and be happy.
