Just another quick update for you. I still need to get the stripes on the fuselage and fix the color on the wing tip stripes, but I think I have most of the little details worked out. I also applied the alpha channels this time so you could see what it will look like with the shine.
So study hard and let me know if I'm missing anything else.

Those white lines are the character lines, I didn't know if you wanted to keep those or not. Or I could just make them a different shade of blue to help them stand out a little less. I'm still trying to figure out how he got that door trim to be gold and where it is they are hiding those fins in the paint kit.
I'm really glad I took this project on. I have learned so much about repainting and my graphics programs from this experience. I'm looking forward to doing another soon. Maybe I'll dig out the old Su-47 and give that a try!
Thank you for your patience with me on it. I know it's taking a little longer than I first thought, but I think it will be worth it in the end.

Here are my end results. There are a couple of issues that are unavoidable, at least with my current knowledge.

First: Both antennas are affected by the same texture patch and must be the same color.

Second: The door frame and parts of the landing gear are affected by the same texture patch and therefore, some parts of the gear will be the same gold color.

Those body stripes were a real pain in the butt for me, so I hope you like them.







I have used one of the photos you provided for the textures thumbnail so when you install this, it should be all good to go. If you're happy with this, just PM me your email and I'll zip it up and send it your way!

LOL!! That's easily fixed I thought they might be a little darker, so if that's the only thing, I'll get that fixed up and be done. Would you like a cfg for it or would you like to do that your self?

I've been pointing out all the things that need to be fixed, I should probably say that you captured the paint perfectly. The jet looks great.

Can you really put the avatar on the yoke?  I do have a picture with that in it.

I mean I have a shot of the yoke from the plane.

You can really do that?

No. I don't really need that on there. I looked at the pictures and they're not good enough. You can't read it. To much of a glare. THe one time it's at my airport and it's sunny.
