It looks good from a distance but I'd have to see a close-up before commenting further. "The devil's in the details." Which paint program?

DXT3 is all I use. Yes, if one has the computer resources to run files which are 4-8 times larger than DXT3, by all means use 32bit Extended.

I don't.

I was trying to see on your repaint if you had made the green and blue solid color (that's how it looks from a bloody-great-distance); if so, you should make them so the underlying paintkit detail still shows thru.

In Pixia it's a Hybrid Layer and in Photoshop a Multiply Layer should be used to cover the paintkit. I do not know what this layer would be called in PSP.

The layer type would be "Multiply" in PSP. You could also sort of run through the types of layers in there if you want to, just to see what each one does.

try adding some darker colours to the underside of the plane and some shading so it doesnt have as many block colours

other than that, a fantastic repaint
