Ty89m 0 Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Honestly it's quite simple to do your own repaints, and there are many tutorials around the web on such topics. I had no experience what so ever using paint kits or repainting until the Catalina came along. The paint kit aerosoft supplied is superb!! Once you get it figured out it's very easy to work with. I had my livery done in matter of hours, and it came out looking great. There are even some freeware paint programs out there which support layer functions. Not to mention how rewarding it is to create your own personalized liveries Ty89m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yago9 0 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Yep,very easy to make using the paint kit..it took me about one hour for this one,inspired by your photos..I have no ideea what those "25" stickers look like or what are the writtings on it . You need better pictures for an accurate livery. Give it a try and if you need help let me know . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yago9 0 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Don,t have to thank me for the paint.I won,t finish it without a better look at those markings.I can,t read them.You have Photoshop and the kit ? Then it,s all yours . Choose model and correct paint kit for it.Uncheck (make invisible) all layers except the main color and the wire frame...Choose three colors for this aircraft..light blue,dark blue and white...paint the main layer quided by wire frame.place markings..Make the other layer visible one at the time and chose to use what you like , rivets, dirt,lines (adjust blending for those) etc Make invisible the wire frame layer before saving...Rename and save as PSD file..and again as DDS..Try it on in the game , then go back at the PSD file ,make modification, save again as DDS ,try it on again...Repeat the process for the rest of the texture files. Ain,t that fun ?..Good luck! Seems more complicated than realy is..Post some shots with the progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty 0 Posted May 27, 2009 Author Share Posted May 27, 2009 hello, here following my progressI just question why the propeller cones are not black when the propeller turns when the engine stopped they are black?ThankMarty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinFlyer 8 Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Looking good Marty. Very good for a first repaint. On your last question, probably there are two textures for the propeller cones, one for when it's static and one for when it's running. So you need to paint them both. I'm not familiar with the paintkit yet so I can't point them out to you but I think Dag or Yago can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty 0 Posted June 8, 2009 Author Share Posted June 8, 2009 cool! Where can I download it?Hello Vago and Dag,I have some question for my repaints, now I removed the alpha on my models 1) I want to create alpha channels with the correct placement of badges and insignia to go out mate, but I do not know how. 2) The Civil Protection should be a PBY6A with a shiny aluminum fuselage, but again I do not know how bright aluminum color and the paint kit that does not exist. Can you help me do that. Thank you Best regards Marty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
