Nordic Skins
-
Dema - looks great to me . . . my research has shown there are two distinct color groups - the darker color set which to me suggest a fresh or newer paint scheme and another one where the colors are quite a bit lighter and I think these are the same colors but are old and faded, photos have been limited but the faded schemes seem to be on possibly some of the retired a/c that are in the museums and such. So, I think you have accurately captured the right color scheme for active duty squadrons.
I have to say I am really happy to see a really decent skin for the MiG21 . . . Nordic is kind of setup for both sides to really enjoy blue or red a/c with cockpits and such. The MiG-21 being one of my favorite a/c makes it even sweeter to see such a nice skin for Nordic - thanks again!

I did some research before set the colors and you hit the point. Finland used 2 kinds of color scheme till a certain point the lighter one, last days with the darker. I decided the second one after i found this :
According to Apali book, Finnish Air Force Camouflage and Markings by Kalevi Keskinenn, Kari Stenman and Klaus Niska, comou colors of the Mig-21bis were changed in 1988.
The first colors used were very dark brown (FS 20108 ), dark green (FS 24127) and light blue grey (FS 26373).
In 1988, new Teknos & Winter IV-colors were introduced for the Mig-21bis, the colors were dark brown (FS 30004), Green (FS 34102) and light grey (FS 36440) .cheers

The skin looks great…there’s some tex-mapping bug at wing fence?

yes, I tried to search that part but no joy. I will give a better look soon when I fix other small imperfections.
-
wing fences are not properly tex-mapped. it needs LE edit to fix.

you want me to fix, you fix, or leave it for later? It will apply to all three CTs using this model (MiG-21bis Finland, Mig-21M Germany, Mig-21MF Soviet). With just one model I can replace all three and send Dema new texmap of fixed parts. I will have to send Starrats new KoreaOBJ.LOD file.
Also, I notice canopy and windscreen is a little bit cloudy looking - not quite so clear? maybe it is just reflection?
Never mind - ccc already sent me texmap fix in e-mail . . . I will get this update to Dema for final fixes . . .

Enjoy it…
What a beauty!!! Thanks mate.

ccc sent me the fix for the wing fences and AB fix for Mig-21bis Finland so I am putting those fixes in as well as adding a another skin set to the MiG-21MF to take advantage of the natural metal skin - so two skin sets for the Soviet Fishbed.
Also, some work-in-progress for the Lansen.

That Lansen is looking good, the more I fly this jet , the more I like it.
