I used to own a Stinson 108-3 and would love to have the original in my livery. The one I use for FSX is the freeware by M. Allen Richards downloadable as Stinson_ 108_3.zip. I don't have the skills to do this myself and I'm wondering if someone here could do it for me and if I could afford it?  This is what it looks like:

I can probably do it, if the model works in FS9. I don't have FSX. The biggest problem would be the squirrel. Do you have a larger version of the second image? Also, I need to know where to get the aircraft. SimV does not support file names for downloads. As to cost, it's freeware isn't it. Repainting is my hobby, I don't charge for something like this.
Cheers.  Smiley

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

Thanks for the reply patchz.  The Stinson I downloaded as fsx_stinson_108.zip from fsnorthwest.net as freeware, and it appears to be programmed for FSX so I'm guessing (but do not know) that it would NOT work in FS9.  So I may have to end up seeing if I could learn something and jump in myself ....  which wouldn't be a bad thing ... just hard.  Huh  But I do appreciate your offering if it was for FS9.

I just checked Phil Talyor's list ( I guess you have to register to even see the downloads at FSnorthwest.net, because I couldn't find anything there), and this plane is indeed a FSX native plane.

I'm downloading the package now, and will check if I could do that paint.

Edit: the textures look rather easy to paint, I might be able to make that paint if you could supply me with a bigger picture of that squirrel.

Ah great ..... I'll dig through my old photo books in storage tomorrow and see if I can find a better pic of the squirrel.

Edit: Dang .... the best picture of the squirrel seems to be the first one in this post.  I found some of the pics which I took in 1970 and the quality was not all that good. The pics were 2 x 2 and no zoom ... way back.  I did do a scan of just the squirrel but it's not all that clear ... this would give you an outline that might work ... but not much more I'm afraid. The yellow actually has a little bit of gold in it .... and not a sunflower yellow like the Fairchild 24R.  Anyway .....  what do you think?

Well, I'll start off with the actual livery (without the squirrel), and then I'll see what I can do about the squirrel. I might try replacing it with another squirrel cartoon, I'll check if I can find anything similar.
It might take me some time though as I'm going on a trip later this week. I guess I'll finish it in a week or two.

Cool

P.S. do you know by any chance what is the font for the registration and text in the front (under the squirrel)?

Great ..... another squirrel would be fine. I'm finding old scans but not the actual physical photos ...  but here's another example of the squirrel on the passenger's side.

WOW!!! That is absolutely perfect.  Where on earth did you find that?  That is exactly the same squirrel ... the right color. Was that an image from an old comics character or something?  I still can't believe that you found this. Thanks very much ......  Cool Cool Cool

I found it on my PC on the end of my Wacom pen... in other words, I drew it.  Smiley

I've been a game developer for 25 years, primarily as an artist.

Looking back at the pictures, it's not a perfect copy... but it's a start. Call it an artists interpretation if you will... but one thing's for sure, it's original. Glad you like it.  Smiley

P.s. If you want the PSD (Adobe Photoshop) to do any modifications, let me know.

Shocked
You've got some a lot of skill!
I'd appreciate a PSD version Smiley
I'll try my best making the Stinson look as similar as possible to the one you owned Cool

Here ya go... http://www.digital-essence.co.uk/misc/bushytail.7z

The background is used as the base colour... not really had time to cut the Squirrel out, but it isn't a difficult thing to do for anyone who wants to. Everything else is layered though.

Thanks mate! Awesome work.

Grizzard, as you might have seen in the Repaints forum I'm having some issues with aliasing the textures to the model, but I hope I'll get it sorted later this week.
