[Skin] Hiryu 1942 ( Battle of Midway) paintscheme

23:13 Fadhz 0 Comments


Basically derusted ( I use the method in which the skin is grayscaled first to remove the rust, and then with color layers added on top with the opacity set between 60-20% respectively) and a  recolor the hiryu's skin with IJN yokouska gray, yokouska gray is used since her last major port where she had service and refits are in Yokouska. And as for IJN ships, their base coat of gray is determined by the last major port where the ship had a refit or service at a given time period. Also added the Hinomaru for additional details. The skin depicts her final look at the Battle of Midway, where she was eventually sunk on the morning of June 5th 1942, after being scuttled and before that heavily damaged by USN dive bombers.

[Skin] Bismarck Operation Rheinübung paintscheme

17:05 Fadhz 0 Comments

[well this is our first skin release, but ohh well here goes nothing]






Basically a skin depicting Bismarck's appearance during one of the  stages of Operation Rheinübung, or the Atlantic sortie in which Bismarck and the Heavy Cruiser Prinz Eugen participated with the goal of blocking shipping to the UK. Which well ended up with hood geting "detonated" and Bismarck sunk in the waters off the coast of france.The camo itself is the Bismarck's baltic cammo with a few tweaks.  The hull details are taken from the files for the Bismarck's perma camo, its historically accurate (except the colors, cmon WG)  so why not lol. Upper superstructure is left plain as in only color tweaks since historically during operation Rheinübung the upper portions of the baltic cammo on Bismarck are painted off. 

Skin comes in 3 variations or options for the hull, With swastika, with a "half swastika" ( basically a swastika without the mid part )  and no swastika. The one shown on the screenshots are the Half swastika variant
