It shows great detail , i think that would have to be the best MC paint for the aircraft , SUPERB!

Please tell me in 2 sentences or less how you go about getting those curved lines along the fuselage.....and don't tell me it is free hand

I have always wondered about this painting lark....one of the dark arts.

I use Gimp. get a photo of the plane. crop it to get the section you want, drag in and it forms a layer.Its good to change transparency on the photo layer, it helps to see what you are doing. There is a tool which can use a colour to form a selection, than fill, than its a matter of tidying up. the other option is same basic method but trace around the lines. You need to scale the imported image to get as accurate as you can. problem is most photos are on an angle so its never perfect. It doesnt matter is the line in between is messed up as you can run a selection in center, and that i forget the term, but tell it to erase say 4 pixels width. Used it first time few days ago. Stil lmuch to learn, only using default fonts, havt got my head around that bit yet.

Sometimes its easy to scan in the font and maybe if required edited , generally i use CoerlDraw - now using CS5.5 Illustrator due to it large font selection but not sure what freeware drawing packages there are out in the big wide world with a large choice .

Migrated to other side almost done.

DOes anyone know if this plane had its id under a wing the photos i have only show left side and cant see an id.

by **Ian Warren** » Thu Oct 17, 2013 7:04 am

I did see one years ago 'last century' i did'nt recall markings , this was one coming into Christchurch in a N/west wind , thing that stuck in my mind was i did not know who operated the aircraft . At one stage i did see one operating out of Tekapo but again no under wing markings recalled in my brain case .

by **mjrhealth** » Sun Oct 20, 2013 8:19 pm

Great job!
