Hello all,

I have edited the template @ICDP created with my unworthy Photoshop skills ?.   "I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy, I'm scum" - Waynes World.

Change Log:

• Edited National Insignia's (star and bars are now white).
• Added stainless steel areas.
• Added dark aluminum areas.
• Added painted aluminum lacquer areas.
• Added filled in panel lines.
• Adjusted the aluminum skin color and shine.
• Further adjustment on aluminum and stainless steel for a more convincing appearance. (blue Fresnel effects like real aluminum, I stare at aluminum all day).
• Corrected my Alpha Channel .psd National insignia's.
• Added Serial Number Guide boxes for positioning.
• Added USAAF Number Stencils that you can cut and assemble.
• Adjusted all colors.
• Corrected starboard sided aileron control cable shrouds paint.
• Many, many refinements for texture, color and glossiness
• Added editable Manufacturing Data Plate in both the Diffuse and Alpha .PSD's.
• UPDATE IN PROGRESS FOR FULL INVASION STRIPES.

Are they missing? I'd have to find my orginal file. I'm sure I have it somewhere.
