Hi Sam,

First have a look in the Repainting forum down under aicraft and scenery design. There's also a tutorial available on the main site too that should be able to get you started.

Cheers,

Charlie

I use a payware software proram called paint shop pro 7, and although slower than using photoshop, I havent mastered photoshop yet. It takes a bit of time to repaint aircraft, but it is rewarding

My life is like the movie Office Space

Heya Sambcfc,

Like SaVas I also use Paint Shop Pro 9 and DXT Bitmap v4.0 for all of my repaints. If I fly an airliner, I'm not going to fly a commercial aircraft. I'll repaint it into a privately owned scheme (from ideas that I get from Airliners.net).

Some examples of my work:

Airbus A-300

Posky Canadair CRJ-600

Saab 340B

J.R. Lucariny's Douglas SBD-5 repainted into a US Navy scheme (#18 of VB-16 USS Lexington, Saipan, June 1944)

It's a lot of work to repaint an aircraft, however, once you're finished, it's yours to enjoy!

Happy Flying -- And may your main wheels always touch down first!&&&&Dave F.

The internet is rife with websites dedicated to repainting aircraft. May I suggest starting your quest by searching google for 'repaint aircraft'.

The first google-search site to come up in my browser is this one. This site says it far better than I.

Good Luck and have fun.

Keep us up-to-date on your progress.
