Really? I can kinda see where your coming from, close up wise - it was a bitch to do and as usual i concentrated far too much on the photos of the real thing rather than thinking more on how it would come out in the simulator - i thought i had it nailed, its a strange finish on these CP Air birds, im guessing highly polished....but hey, from a distance is what counts!!

Wow that first one is something! Cool

All are quite nice, but man that first has some beautiful detail in it. The hard work and effort really shows. Wink

Cheers! Heres the real thing for some comparison. The CLS repaint kit has no provison for the extra 'door' above the cockpit - im guessing its a pilot escape thing, and i forgot about it ! Anyhoo, see what you think to this and my repaint:-

Now that's top notch! Wink

One question though, and I had this similar problem and couldn't figure it out, where the elevators meet the tail is a patch of white, what causes that?

Hmmm not sure what you mean? On the 747 i think its the mechanism for moving the tail/elevators, but i might be wrong, have you got a picture of this 'white bit'?

Hmm i dont really know what that is....is it on the real thing? On the 747 if its not the mechanism for moving the tail/elevator it could just be the way the lights catching it and the shine thats added to the paint?

I don't know about the details, but a great looking repaint, outstanding job!
I think your screenshots are fantastic too! Still Portland? I may have to look at that package too..

Yeah still portland - i know i should vary things but it always provides a stunning backdrop to really set off...well anything really! Well worth looking into, as a whole area, nothing ive got other than a few of those france vfr series even comes close TBH!

And its just about flyable even on my rubbish computer, and the results are always good as you can see, it loads fast, i dont have to wait for hours for various bits to 'focus' - heavens forbid what its like on a modern up to date without valves computer!
