I think the upper color looks good. I think the bottom color needs to be a little bit more white-ish. The paint connect points look good on the nose. A few little things though:  The blue on the tail needs to end a little higher so there's room for the lines. The letters and numbers could also be bigger:





The yellow circled areas should be blue on the top and bottom, and the red ones need to be silver.



One other thing. The bottom of the wings should be the the same as the top of the wings, and those should both be the same as the bottom half of the plane. + the stuff I said in the other thread. Sorry I'm so picky. Overall it looks very good. Thanks.

Thank you!   

I think it's looking great! I can't seem to locate that tail piece either. What texture file is the engine strut and door frame in?  I used your idea for using the photo for the registration, but I think I'm gonna try to paint the lines on first. The nose on yours looks much better now! Get that tail area fixed and it will be spot on! In the end the only difference between our paints will be that mine has the character lines and yours won't. You really should grab the paint kit and try it out. I don't know how many times you've done this, but it appears as though you know what you're doing. This is my first try, so it's taking a little work trying to teach myself all the techniques. I don't know why, but all these tutorials I've read just make no sense to me. I just got to dive in hope for the best.   Looking good, keep it going!

You should. The result might be better. Both are looking great.

Yeah, figures about the electon. Well, tonight I'm doing some uni assignments so I wont be able to do anything tonight, plus I'm still trying to figure out my EGNB Brough problem (on another thread). Tomorrow I've a day off but I'm going to be relatively busy cleaning the flat. I should have some time tomorrow though. I'm using DXTBMP too 

Well, since you're using PSP and I'm using CS2, transfering files would seem pointless unless they're 24Bit, BMP or JPEG. Plus I would really need to look at the character lines on the aircraft, which means getting the paintkit. I've been editing the textures supplied with the model - Most bits are labelled so it's rather straight forward. What I'm more concerned about at the moment is the brown lines going across the side of the aircraft. They seem so pixellated so I might have to paint them by hand, because before it was copy, paste, resize, fit, clean up. To be honest the horizontal lines on my first job seemed a lot clearer.

I don't intend to do anything tonight as last night I spent till 4am on those other textures when I had to be up for a 9am lecture 

Would be cool to finish this together. It's a good newbie project anyway 

I just noticed this:



Is this in chrome, or something else? I believe it should be chrome.

Sorry, I meant on Prasopchai's paint.
