Thank you all!!!
I am very proud of it....
at first I worked on the first version of the aircraft that didn't had reflective textures, so i tried to play with the colors on the BMP's to make it look more shiny... than I saw that there is a brand new version 2 that got reflective textures, and with my affort with the colors it came out great...
anyhow, thanks... when I done with the work I felt what only parents, designers and repainters feel when they see they're baby ,that they worked really hard on, feel.

Nice repaint erez, looks real good.

What software do you guys find is the best for repainting? Texture convertors etc.

I would love to give it a go but am not sure where to start, I have done repaints in CFS1 but that was a long time ago.

If anyone with any helpful info wants to drop me an email, you can contact me here webmaster@jokersaviation.org or go to the email link on my website, found left or below.

Cheers and keep up the good work all.

well pal

I use mainly 2 softwares: Paint Shop Pro 7 and DXTBmp
the 1st one is my painter itself, with lots of fliters (included) and some nice fx. it's not free but U can have a free demo (full functional) for some days.
The second one is for free just make a search here at simv or google and U will find it - this software is the one to work with alpha channel, ie, the "metal, chrome" reflective paintings that we largely use today.
Call me anytime if U need help, ok?

cya!
