Racer Option Baggage Door/Rear Windscreen Fairing
Something to note, guys, which I've spotted in the repaints released so-far (if it matters to you).
When you select the "racer" canopy option, it changes some of the modeling of the section of fuselage just behind the rear cockpit, not just the windscreen/canopies themselves. One of the changes is on the side of the fuselage, centered on the baggage door. When you select the "racer" canopy option, it changes the standard baggage door to the fully-rectangular baggage door (one of the design aspects of the AT-6F and SNJ-6, which were the two production examples that had the all-around clear rear windscreen as seen with the racer option (the later Harvards had this same baggage door/compartment design as well)). When selecting the "racer" option, it also changes the rear windscreen fairing modeling. So not only do you have to apply the markings to the standard section of the fuselage textures, but there must be an additional spot or two on the texture sheet just for the rectangular baggage door/rear windscreen fairing which should also receive attention for everything to display properly when the "racer" canopy is selected. Here are some quick screenshots to illustrate (I'm sorry to use your repaints as an example, Marius, I already love them just fine as is - they're both gorgeous!):

Re: Finished Repaints
Hehe, you've spotted my fun-spoiler/realism-fanatic flaw
I've left the Eichhorn T-6 like that because it's so unique and you should fly it with that canopy (I know, I'm difficult ), the Navy one on the other hand is more generic so I left the option to switch.
What I didn't realise there though was that the roundel was also partly cut off, many thanks for pointing that out, I'll rework that tomorrow.

Re: Finished Repaints
Marius, again, I'm sorry for using your repaints as an example (I've already been enjoying them greatly), I just thought perhaps anyone who paints this aircraft might not immediately be aware that there is a little extra component than usual (a really neat detail, as far as I'm concerned).

Re: Finished Repaints
Please don't worry, it's perfectly fine!
As I said, I was unaware of the cutted bit of roundel.
Knowing now, I can improve this paint plus the other readers and me can avoid that mistake in upcoming paints.

Hi RafiRaFi wrote:4 Hour's sleep since release, I just had to do this. Endlessly struggled with small bits of paint popping up all over, but I think I finally managed it.
This just need some fine tuning, but this will be my "fictional" paint job if I had a Harvard.
Can I get this repaints please?
Kind Regards

Re: Finished Repaints
Well, I can't let you guys have all the fun painting this bird... Here's a fictional repaint I cooked up to celebrate the Texan's long tradition of teaching pilots. Nothing fancy, just an old workhorse that can still turn a head or two
