For the most part it's looking great. I'm glad to see you finally figured out that tail piece. Just that those two little fins on top (above first and second windows) should be blue. Also, that door frame should be the same glod color as the ouline of the N-Number. And one quick question: What are those white lines on the engines? Once you get those lines on, I think it will look as close to perfect as possible. Thanks again.

I would like those l ines to be as invisible as possible, since you don't see them on the plane.

Oh my gosh, I feel really bad. It all looks so amazing, but the stripes are the inside color of the Number, not gold.

I can see you like getting ready to through the computer out the window and yell "Screw it! I can't take this huy anymore!" Other than that it all looks amazing and I can't wait to get it. Thanks again for your patience. Sorry.

i would like a CFG if you could do that. One teeny little thing too. Could the frame be a tad less yellowy. Just a little darker in color. Also,  if it's not to mucht trouble, Could I have this next to the door?:

Shoot hold on. I'm on the wrong computer. I don't have high res pics of it right now. Give me a little while to get my other computer and cut the picture up to show you what I mean. In the other post you can see there's a little decal/icon thing nect to the door on the left. You could probably just paste it on if I gave you a more zoomed in and higher res shot right? Thanks.

No problem. And if you want. I can put your avatar on the center of the yoke too.

I just did!

one second and I'll post a pic.

Added the logo, and tweaked the stripes. Gotta smooth them out a little, but I cloned the color from the numbers. And added a pic of the VC this time.

Your stripes still look much better than mine do at this point though.

Hey! A true repainter has entered the building. It is the Premier Aircraft Design's CL-604 for FSX. I am using PSP9 and DXTBMP for the paint work, and using the paint kit supplied by the makers.

Here is the side by side:



Bear in mind, this is my first real attempt at a full repaint, and I have had to learn a ton of how it's done on my own. All three threads showing its progress are still on the front page of this board.

hmmm i see. Stripes Stripes that are not only not straight, but taper and other stuff!

Stripes - i hate them and they make me pull my hair out. Especaily ones like this! Well done for attempting them in your first repaint...!

Looking at the aircraft it looks pretty 'easy' to paint - but closer inspection reveals its highly detailed and certainly not somthing id attempt for my first go!! Kudos to you sir!

Ive discoverd doing one stripe, then bending it to follow the lines you want, then duplicating it, then tapering them off as a whole works pretty well, but they still rate as nigh on impossible somtimes!

How good is the paintkit?

I would have to judge it as excellent, simply because I've managed to get this far with it. It comes with all the needed parts clearly labeled(for the most part) and all the needed alpha channels for the shine. I had to borrow some textures from the actual plane to make a complete texture set, but I think that's what they had in mind anyway.

Thank you for the kind words. Those stripes have been my biggest pain so far. Everytime I think I have them right, I see something on them that I feel I should fix. I don't want to hand over a repaint where I've said "The heck with it, he gets what he gets."
I took this on and want to give him the best possible effort that I can give with results as close to that photo as I can get them.
I got one side as close as I feel I'm gonna get them, just gotta finish the other side and then post a pic for approval and that should be it.

Edit: Just seen your post after I posted this.
