Japanese ship art

Post by hellfirejet »

Hi folks can you help me a little please,I have created this art for the Aircraft Carrier Hosho class,but my problem is I just can't decide on a colour scheme, I like for the Japanese ship's, I want them to stand out during the combat screen action, feedback regarding a fav colour you would like to see them displayed in would be much appreciated regarding this matter,cheers[;)]

I do want all Japanese ships to have a red waterline.[:)]

Here is another version off the Hosho,this is not a finnished project by any means,it's just an idea at this stage ?[;)]

National flags incorporated into the ship art, might also become as standard feature I'm toying with at the moment,again feedback regarding this would be most welcome thanks.[;)]

Hi Graham, could this flag be a bit smaller, about the size of the German ensign on the Scharnhorst?
