Sorry about the ugly red textures, the jpeg optimizer just messes them up...they look fine in flightsim.

She should be in the next upload cycle.

Metal textures, windows, NWO text by Daniel, I just put it together and spruced it up a bit.

I'm dedicating this repaint to Kiki....rest in peace my friend. Cry

Very nice! Beautifully painted, even if its not my favorite livery.'

Steve, who was kiki? I read on AVSIM that he was a repainter that died from some sort of unfortunate complication. Undecided

I'm sure they'res more to his story. Would you be willing to share? ???

Kiki was a great painter who's given many great freewae repaints to our community.

He was very young (18 I believe) when he was taken from us. He suffered from muscular dystrophy which left him wheelchair bound and disabled, but that never hindered his skill as a repainter or his attitude towards life.

He was a great person who also was a fellow SGA painter, I knew him through repainting and as his manager in our freeware paint group, SGA.

He will be sorely missed by me personally and by everyone who's enjoyed the work he's done.

Please visit here to see some of the gifts he freely gave to our community. http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?DLID=&Name=&FileName=&Author=MAZBOUDI+&CatI...

Thanks for the comments and interest in Kiki.

That is a lovely kite there Steve Wink

I too was shocked and saddened to hear of Kikis passing. A tragic loss to the community, and yes he was only 18 Sad

great work. Although i am not a fan of the NW orient paintwork. It should have been all metal look without that white stripe down the middle
