Dave , looks finished , I really like the 'no walk' line on the top of the , it not black/grey but little individual detail that makes it .
I think this scheme did get markings and transfers all over, Rescue/Weather-Emergency
Peace keppin all typical , Even aircraft Rego can be change easy , to suit any special markin , Just another superb paint.

Thanks Dave,

I've just downloaded and installed - no probs. Great to have an RNZAF repaint for it. Really hope they bring out the H model sooner or later. Looking forward to the 80's repaint. And the current....

Ian/Deane,

What sort of deployment & typical loadings would this first release be used for? I'm thinking of doing a couple of flights. Destinations etc would be great.

Thanks

Yes that sort of sums up the operations the C130 was used for. I still laugh at the bit about the language course. My wifes great uncle, Alan Wood was CO of 40 Sqn at the time and was the captain of the first Herc to be bought home (Carey Adamson was his co-pilot). I remember him telling me the story.
I hope he writes his autobiography one day as there are so many tales to tell !!

Hey Dax love your repaint, can you tell me where to get FS Repaint from as it would help with our painters.

by **Dax** » Wed Sep 06, 2006 8:58 am

The demo is availble from Abacus in the "Flight Sim Pacakes" area at
http://www.abacuspub.com
The free demo allows you to view your repaint but you can not save the work. I just use it to view the repaint.

Sorry things have been quiet for a while. I am in the middle of buying a house and it has been causing a lot of stress.

Rest assured I have one more 757 repaint to finish then it's back to the RNZAF repaint project.

No worries Dax. It is said the two most stressful things a person can possibly do are moving house and changing job, so you are not alone mate

Look foward to your future repaints!

Best thing is it has it's own, sorry let me rephrase that. It has my new study for my computer and sim gear. Lock the door and work in peace and quiet.

I am also getting promoted sometime January so thats the new job as well.
