domm 5 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Hello everyone, I am looking for a nice "repainter" who could help me. for painting the tail of my DC8. I am trying to paint the DC8 in the colors of the French airline, Transports Aériens Intercontinentaux (TAI) today disappeared. With a lot of work I made the fuselage.

Can not have TAI on both sides, I have a misalignment. see picture. and below a photo of the tail of the real plane. and what I would like to have.

Developer Michael2 236 Posted March 25, 2019 Developer Share Posted March 25, 2019 You need to break the graphic in two pieces. Duplicate the text so you have each in a separate layer. What I do is make the layer that will be on the rudder invisible and then position the one on the fin as desired. Then I erase that layer aft of the line made by the edge of the fin. Then I make the layer on the rudder visible, get it to line up, and erase the forward part of it. If you are truly stuck you can send my your photoshop file and I will do it for you. If you don't have some program other than FSX to see the result so you don't have to reload the aircraft for each change, I agree it's not easy.

Break the graphic in two pieces ?? You mean, separate the vertical stabilizer (vertical tail) and the rudder, I do not understand very well. I do not easily manipulate layers, but I will try, and if I can not do it, I will contact you. I do not have photoshop but only Paint.net and Paintshop pro that does not work well because it is for XP 32 bit version, and I am on Windows 7 64. But thank you for your offer of help, I would send you the picture, seen from near the tail of DC8 TAI (In case, how to send you the photo file? by attach files I suppose) Regards.

Sar71 110 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Hello Domm, here is a picture of how it looks on one of my repaints: Please login to display this image. As Michael says, you basically have to bridge the gap between the rudder and the vertical stabilizer. Greetings Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
