(I've had this sitting around on my computer for about a month now, it's not finished, but it's as finished as it will get with my current skills)
History:
This is a purely speculative livery for an aircraft that really did exist and was operated from 1967 to 1976 (see my other livery for a more authentic recreation of that plane pre-1970) that is inspired by the liveries of the RhAF's Douglas Dakotas. Late into the Rhodesian Bush War they were repainted and modifyed to help deter Soviet-made Strela homing missiles that were in use by guerilla fighters. It's not impossible that Baron R7310 was actually painted up much like this late into it's service, but I have no evidence either way.
Notes:
- At some point I think I'll redo the COMP files, but they're fine for now
- The livery can look distoted at certain angles and zooms, this is apparently to do with asobo's LOD so there's nothing I can do about it at the moment.
- Alerions and other flaps do not connect with the camo, not sure how I'm gonna go about painting the pattern on them yet.
lol -- I bet so many people download this skin because it looks cool.. I highly doubt most of them will know what Rhodesia was... and when they find out -- LOL.
