Hehe, I've slowed down a bit...I'm starting to fly and enjoy some of my repaints...so you may see me drop down to only 1-2 repaints a week. Grin

Besides, I smashed my left index finger with a hammer last night (long story, but its in pretty bad shape), so that's gonna' slow me down too.

Anyway, Daz likes my work and wants me to keep painting, so here is a KLM 742 that I'm making some progress on:

That is great work there 8) .

Many times Ive tried re-painting and every time I give up after about an hour.

Just wondering, do you use a mouse for re-painting, or a pc drawing pad?

sure do steve i like the way you add dirt to an aircraft i love dirty aircraft not aircraft that have just been polished over and over again coz lets face it theres not many very clean aircraft out there in the real world. thats a beautiful beast right there and the KLM livery is one of my favourites...dont let that figner stop you creating awesome paints! maybe you should create a website for all your repaints you do...keep up the great work

Thanks Daz.
I've had to hold up on my KLM livery because I discovered that it has a metalic bottom on the particular bird I painted...Unfortunatley the alpha on this model (the stuff that make the metal shiny and reflective) is not working on the model. When Posky figues it out, I'll get her finished. If its not gonna be fixed, I'll leave the bottom gray and release her.

Don't fret though, because I'm now painting birds that don't have a metal body, like Iberia, which you'll see previews of shortly.
