GooberMc1 2 Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Hi guys, I am requesting a BA A320 repaint, G-GATM. I know many BA A320's have been painted however I could not find one with the tips of the flap screws painted red so that they are more visible to ground crew. I asked about a month and 1/2 ago on the repaint request topic but no one answered, believe you me, I know that you are all very busy and devote your time to enhance the community but I was just wondering if anyone has any inclination to do this for me? I have no idea on how to repaint and I am very grateful for the liveries but this one would help anyone who likes to fly the bus out of Gatwick. Thanks in advance.

John Glanville 821 Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Don't know where you get the idea that the flap fairings are not painted but as far as I know every repaint available here ( and also included in the product ) have them , certainly the BA paints that I made . Failing that , the paint kit that Aerosoft supplied has a complete BA livery ( also with the painted flap fairings ) , so you only have to add the registration that you want .

GooberMc1 2 Posted May 13, 2017 Author Share Posted May 13, 2017 Hi, thanks for responding. The Gatwick fleet have a slightly different style. This is the best picture I could find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Glanville 821 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Seems that the area painted is slightly larger than on the original BA paints . I myself concentrated on the ( what would have been ) 10 British Caledonian A320's with CFM engines , which I painted in the Landor livery and later with the " World Tails " , unfortunately was never able to find enough photos of these in high definition to paint them all ( plus it's a LOT of work - with no reward ) . I take it that these aircraft were ex-BMI , noticed that they have the BA crest ( which wasn't included in the paint kit ) but there again the paint kit was made back in 2010 .

GooberMc1 2 Posted May 14, 2017 Author Share Posted May 14, 2017 Thank you, I really appreciate what all you painters do. You work so hard to give the community excellent repaints and I think everyone greatly appreciates it. No, these infact are second hand A320's that BA acquired for LGW when the B734's went out of service. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GooberMc1 2 Posted May 17, 2017 Author Share Posted May 17, 2017 Hi John, I managed to do it!! It looks pretty poor but at least it now means I can have the extra detail when flying from LGW. Thanks again for all of your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
