Finally got a Stearman that I like the paint on, even if I did have to paint it myself.

Thanks for looking.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

That looks good. I like the yin/yang thing you've got going on on the wheels.

Thanks guys, but I can't take credit. It is simply a palette shift with a slight modification. I simply changed the red to blue, ying yang included, and then changed the wing and horizontal stab bottoms to white. And added the name of course. I like red, but I like blue better and have wanted this for a while. I actually started about three months ago, but could not get it to show up. Sad

And I checked the aircraft.cfg two or three times. But I missed one little entry that I finally found the other day. It really pays to recheck the .cfg more. Grin

Well, nevertheless you did a great job with that repaint.
I was about to say that this was surely your greatest repaint yet, but then I read your last answer Cheesy

However, I think you should take into consideration the original work made by the author, to apply the same techniques to your repaints.

I have seen your other recent repaints in your other topics (Maule), and I have to say that everytime, there is a little cartoonish effect that could be avoided by choosing the colors more carefully. What do you think ?

Got bloom ?
Got mountains ?
Got damage ?

In the case of the Maule, you are correct. It just depends on the aircraft and theme. Sometimes I want a little cartoonish effect, other times not. I still have a lot to learn about repainting though. And there are limits to my abilities. But it is fun.

Well your limits are already much higher than mines.
I tried once to make a repaint, and the result was so catastrophic that I didn't even dare to try it on the aicraft in the sim Tongue

So yes, I know what you are talking about

Thanks Daube. But you should not give up so quickly. My first few were pretty bad and I still get a bad now and then. A lot of it depends on the texture setup the designer used. Some are really easy, while others are a painter's nightmare. Those are the ones that make we want to strangle the designer. (Can I get an amen Roy?) Grin

Anyway, keep working at it. You will improve with practice.
