Warplane Art / Colorized
« on: January 27, 2006, 10:04:28 PM »
New name in the field of image software is Colorize. This is the software specialized in converting of old black and white photos into the color. It is FREE  and there is two option of how to get it- direct instal from their web site or download of RAR archive. As well I do not prefer to instal anything from web on my computer I have download RAR archive which size is 1,4 MB.

I have unpack RAR archive and software was instant ready- no need to install on computer. Window is very clear and on the top side is some of the basic tools and on the right side are color panel. Most of the controls are identical to the controls in Adobe Photoshop so I have open one photo for trial. In first moment I have a problem to open TIFF format but there was no problem with JPG or BMP. Photo are saved in its own format of file.

Working with this software is very simple and no experience is need!!! On the top panel you choose tool and use it on picture. There is zoom tool but zoom out missing. For color proces you have to take brush tool, rounded or square, and chose color and mark the area which have to be convreted in color. When you mark all of the area on picture then click Colorize icon on top panel [shortcut is C] and proces of repainting begin. Color panel are placed on right side and there is palette with the various natural color [wood, skin, glass, stone...] but with color panel on the top for direct choosing of color.

This original photo had 3 MB and overapainting was done in less then ten minute. Restult could vary and take attention that this is my first work with this software and some practice have to make oerfect photo. I have to say that on this sample glass color are not work well. Special note is that this software is still beta version 0.7 and I am sute that full power will appeared on final version. From my point of view very nice addition but I think that some classic tool have to ba add such as magic wand, laso and pen. Download  this software on following  address:

Original photo is from petar Bosnic collection.

Let Let Let Announcment / First year- Prva godina
« on: January 23, 2006, 04:14:37 PM »
Danas se navrsilo tacno godinu dana od kada je nastao let Let Let sajt. Poceo je kao mali sajt od sest megabajta a evo danas on ima pedeset megabajta i forum. Prilicno je naraso broj strana i napisa na sajtu a sam Gulg ima oko 130 indeksiranih stranica foruma a na sajt vodi preko sedamdeset linkova sa drugih sajtova. Celu stvar sam zamislio kao "od maketara maketarima" i sve na sajtu predstavljeno na najbolji moguci nacin i onako kako ja osecam da bi godilo prosecnom ljubitelju vazduhoplovstva. Posebno se zahvaljujem svima vama koji obilazite ovaj sajt a posebno saradnicima koji su uzeli ucesce u podizanju ovog sajta.

Today is the first year annivesary of the Let Let Let web site. Begin as a small site of six MB, today it had some fifty MB and forum. Number of pages are also raised ang Google had indexed around 130 Let let Let pages and ove seventy links guide to the site. I have imagine whole thing as "from modeler to modeler" and all on the site were presented in the best possible manner and how I feel that will be nice to the aviation enthusiast. I grant thanks to all of you who are visiting my site and specialy to the contributors who take a part in building of this internet place.

Combat Warplanes / Nova boja na F-15
« on: January 21, 2006, 10:17:30 PM »
U saradnji sa Univerzitetom Misuri, rajt Paterson bazom u Ohaju, Boingom iz Sent Luisa i Deft indastrijal

Finisis razvijena je nova zastitna boja za bojenje aviona F-15. Do sada su farbari koristili osnovne boje

zasnovane na hromu a poznato je da je heksavalentni hrom kancerogen. Novi premaz bez ovog sastojka

postize istu zastitu ali je mnogo "prijateljskija" nego prethodna boja. Osim toga vise nema ni otrovnog

otpada a i osoblje ne mora vise da nosi hermeticke skafandere prilikom upotrebe ove boje. U ovom

trenutku sva odelenja koja se bave zastitom i bojenjem se spremaju na smenu materijala. Nova boja

lepsa je na izgled, laksa je za odrzavanje na terenu a i jednostavnija za ciscenje. Sve ce to doneti i

odredjenje finansijske ustede ali i smanjtit vreme rada. Do sada je 36 aviona F-15 dobilo ovu boju a od

septembra ove godine ulazi u punu upotrebu.

Market / Four new kit- Yugoslav Kingdom
« on: January 18, 2006, 09:55:38 PM »
New resin offering from Choroszy out of Poland made in 2005:
Ikarus SM Seaplane
Just produced in August of 2005, this finely made resin kit is in new condition as it came straight from the factory, and it depicts a Royal Yugoslav Naval Air Force SM flying boat that was used fom the late 1920's to the mid-1930's before being replaced by the SiM series, and the Do-J "Wal".
This kit is a must for the Small Air Force collector, and requires one with experience to build.
I will be selling this model at a reasonable price. Purchase with confidence as my feedback suggests, and feel free to click the links above to view my other auctions which are now displayed at my Storefront. I am currently selling a CD modeling guide which will greatly enhance the building process of this fine kit. Ikarus SM Modelart CD

1/72 scale kit from Omega Models which was molded in Czech Republic in 2000:
# 72061 Rogozarski P.V.T. Yugoslav Parasol Wing Trainer
All kits are in New mint box condition, with no shelf wear to the box. The contents are complete. This kit is now out of production, and very hard to find! Comes with the decal options to do 4 aircraft, 2 Yugoslav, or 2 Croatian. This aircraft was the indiginous parasol wing training plane and was modeled after the French Morane Saulnier Ms-235. This kit is a fine representation of this classic aircraft. Finely molded in resin, and also includes metal bracing wires and real rubber wheels. It will be a nice item for any Hobby Model collector/builder.

Eduard #8052 Messerschmitt Bf-108 B Taifun
Lift Here partial Royal Yugoslav Bf-108B S-07
This nicely molded kit was manufactured in the Czech Republic for Eduard in the late 1990's, and is in mint sealed condition. This kit represents the predecessor of the classic Me-109 design of the German Luftwaffe and was used by many countries in the liaison role, and as an advanced trainer to familiarize pilots to the 109's narrow landing gear. Also, I will be including a partial decal selection from Lift Here decals out of Serbia. With this decal I am also including an 8 1/2 X 11 Color profile and decal placement guide.
This kit is of very fine molding and will make nice collectable for the modeler and collector.

Hobby Craft #HC 1569 Messerschmitt Bf-109 E-3 Lift Here partial Royal Yugoslav Bf-109E # L-33
EZ Mask #96 Bf-109 E-3/4/7.
This nicely molded kit was manufactured in Korea for Hobby Craft in the early 1990's, and is in mint opened condition with the contents still sealed in original factory bag for the 1st kit and the 2nd kit has all parts repacked in a plastic bag. This kit represents the most famous of the classic Me-109 design of the German Luftwaffe that soldiered on to the end of the war with numerous Axis countries. Also, I will be including a partial decal selection for additional Yugoslavian markings of aircraft L-33 as it appeared in 1941 just prior to the April Invasion. Finally I am also throwing in a canopy mask from EZ Masks as a bonus. Please note the mask says it is for the Hasegawa, but I have been informed they also work on the Hobby Craft kits as well.
This kit is of very nice molding and will make nice collectable for the modeler and collector.

Warplane Art / Illustration basic technique
« on: January 13, 2006, 11:12:10 PM »
Let's begin with the color profile. First at all i have to note that could not do this if you are not common with the picture editor control. In this way this is the Adobe Photoshop, version CS2, by my personal opinion the best software for the picture editing.

Our target will be to produce color profile of the Messerschmitt Bf109E flown by Kurt Wolf from the JG52. What we need is the basic technical drawing and the photo of the subject. Drawings I have scan from the "Model Art" special edition Bf109E. Scan have to be 300 dpi and as larger as possible- I use A3 size in landscape orientation. Format is TIFF. I do not use PSD as well it is much large and there is no need for this. Photoshop memory many of data including of your actions and this give larger file. In this reason I use TIFF form and click on field LZW for the compression. This will extra reduce size of the image but this will still be capable for the high quality professional print.

Drawings must to be clean in the outline and the area out of the basic shape and this need some time to prepare before the start of the initial work. Prepared drawing then select. You can do this with regular selection tools but also with pen which is most precision and versatile tool in CS2. Fastest way to select is to choose Magic Wand tool and to click in the area out of the plane shape. All outer area will be then selected. You should then press Ctrl shift i and selection will be inverted and the airplane body will be selected. Around the plane body will be noted selection which is called "marching ants". See it on the picture number 1.

Note- best way is Pen tool for selection and you have tips explained here http://www.letletlet-warplanes.com/forum/index.php?topic=253.msg10751#msg10751
