Missing canopy windshield framing

Being dirty and used has pretty much been the artistic style of all Milviz warbirds as long as I can remember. While I prefer cleaner aircraft personally as well, we do offer a paintkit on the product page. I'm sure there is someone who will make a clean exterior paintjob. Have you checked Sim Outhouse or any of the other sites?

I have looked at the paint kit and it looks like the dirt effect is baked into each image (PSD). I am not a painter but
it looks like one would have to replace the dark dirty areas with more of the clean haze gray color. A big task I would think.
I'm not concerned with the non Navy birds, which BTW, some of those look a little cleaner then the Navy paints.
I was the one that made a pitch at SOH for the VA-25 paint and eventually someone produced it but he used your kit with
all the "combat action" effect embedded in so that no matter what the livery, it would come out as a "dirty" bird.

Seems like the dirt layers should be separate in the PSD and could be toggled off. I'll check it out.

Edit: Yes dirt layers can be turned off using GIMP.

Not meaning to be disrespectful but I have been around a Skyraider in Dallas and actually volunteered to clean up the oil after a flight. The people that tend to that aircraft regularly say the only time stops leaking oil is when is out of it. And I find MV's representation pretty close to what I saw and touched a few years back
