Great job on the mud splattering!
That is hard to do!

Wow - very good - looks like my jeep at the moment!
Thanks guys! And Bill you are right, I think 80% of the painting time went into tweaking the mud. I will probably try to even improve the muddiness effect on my next paint, it's pretty difficult to make smooth transitions over "texture seams".
ps. just tried if I could clean those tires by skimming in water, but no avail

Amazingly enough there is an Arctic Circle Air, in Fairbanks Alaska, which gave me my first professional flying job cirica 1984. Dirty cubs usually have some mud thrown up off of the wheels striped along the bottom of the wings above the wheels.

That's some mighty fine looking dirt on those tundra tires. Nice work.
Another scheme uploaded. Real life aircraft belonging to Ultima Thule Lodge in Alaska. I revised the dirt effects a bit to make smoother transitions, and also added subtle fading/weathering. Get it here.
Wonderfully done.
This was one of my attempts with the standard cub package to try and get faded canvas textures. I might take another look thanks to your insparation.
:salute:
Canvas was not used as an aircraft covering. My 1954 Supercub was originally covered in Irish Linen
It later iterations Ceconite and Stits Polyfiber was used. The earlier planes that were doped do tend to fade and chalk up a bit, the new ones seem to be pretty resistant, even the red that my plane is currently in. The famous glacier pilot don sheldon's old yellow cub, still in Talkeetna, os quite faded.
Cheers. T
Thanks - I type corrected LOL Seriously that was interesting.
Speaking of fading on Supercub textures. I'm still learning.
Very good
Gents, I uploaded a fixed version of Ultima Thule. Noticed one wrongly colored window frame, which had slipped through my sloppy quality control. Nothing drastic. Can be downloaded from the original link above.
Glad you like it:salute: I think this Ultra model desrves all the attention it can get, it has quickly become one of my all-time favorite addon planes.
Pacers have quite a cult following as bush beater planes! So , I believe (know) the term was funky, which was a counterculture in phrase. Hey my 1954nCub, I purchased for $7,500 in 1975 is now worth over a hunnert???? Ouch!

Will these paints work on the other flight replicas cubs?

I only got the Ultra package, so haven't got the slightest idea. But there's no harm testing, right..:costum:
Thanks Mike!
