I've had comments the Rare Bear CS I made is a little dull so why don't you delete it from the swap pages and I'll make a new one with more gloss for you.
Okay I removed it. Thanks.

We're headed to the grocery store but I'll fix it this evening, thanks for taking it down. I thought it was a bit dull when I made it but like a dummy I just didn't take a bit of time and fix it. What's that saying, there's always time to do it again but never enough time to do it right the first time

Okay here's a modified version of your color scheme take a good look at it and use the one you like the best it doesn't matter to me at all. What I did was make a copy of the fuselage, wings, hstab, vstab, outside canopy frames, gear doors, gear bays, spinner, and exhaust panels and put them on a separate layer. Then I made a copy of that layer keeping the original layer for a virgin copy and upped the brightness by 5%. Then I made a copy of that layer and added 5% of contrast. So what you see is the second layer after applying 5% of brightness and then 5% of contrast on top of that. I'm also uploading the 1st picture I made for you and the second picture is the new version. I made it as close to the first one as possible. You can see the colors are a bit brighter and stronger and you can notice the additional shine on the fuselage. So like I said, take your pick it's your CS I just wanted to give you the option to choose the one you like the best since I did think about doing this the first time but just left the plane the way it was in your PSD file. If you like the second one I can upload your modified PSD file so you can have it too.
The first picture is the 1st version I did and the second picture is the new version.

and then there is ... mine ...
It is a great CS.
I was thinking on doing the flamed version of it ... started on it and lost interest
I also removed the gun ports from the Bump map as seen in the last picture ... and touched up the exhaused plates a bit ... still need to customize more for your skin

Nice detail Ddawg.
That is quite a green tint on the Rarebear wings in your picture, I have never seen it that severe on my computer, but the model on grass does look slightly different to parked on asphalt. See pics in post 1302
You are a helicopter guy right, so I have a question for you, I downloaded this model from the swaps but I am unable to even make it lift off, rotor blades spin and that's it. If you know a fix send a PM, don't want to go off topic in Technoid's thread, (more than I already have) Thanks.

Awesome Ddawg, the Bearcat on the cowl is a stroke of genius, and 47, somebody famous was born that year, nice touch.
On my way to the download page.

Downloaded and tested in RF-X and RF7.5, it looks much better in X, particularly close up walk arounds, zoomed in, have a look at the pics, (orange on wings RF7.5) I don't know how it displays RF8 ?
Incredible detail Ddawg on the lines and rivets, you should be really proud of your work.
Why don't you upload your version, it should be under your banner. Thanks again.

If you wish, but I do so under protest ....
Consider your protest acknowledged.
I am happy to see the color scheme shared, whoever wants to share it does not bother me, thanks.
