IN my quest for tweaking Ive targeted another texture for improvement. In doing photo research for a lot of my DC-8 texture Improvements I noticed a bit of variation in how the horizontal stab
is painted, or not painted. Ive settled on doing two, as most all paints I have done or liveries I have seen, have one or the other. The current HJG one is fine, but I guess I just cannot help
myself!
Quite a few airlines and cargo outfits paint the entire stab white, or the base shade above the cheatline. Most pics I have seen have some sort of bare metal leading edge. Some outfits
have a bare metal finish with what looks like a lighter shade of Aluminum or some sort of protective paint(corroguard?) on the center area of the stab. So I present to you the two new stab textures
along with the HJG offering for comparison. In any new paint I upload I will include the proper horizontal version based on pics. Its actually quite hard to find good pics which actually show this!
