Been wanting to do this for a while.....some of the models leave a bit to be desired, but its what we have so I decided to work with that. I am giving several livery's "the treatment"  These are some of my favorite 8 paints. I wont be doing a ton of these, but right now I am working on these 3. Mostly improving details, metal textures, and tweaking things here and there. So far this is what I have....... Attachment DeletedAttachment DeletedAttachment Deleted |

I worked quite a bit on the nacelle textures trying to make them look more realistic and I think Ive captured the metal a bit better. Lots of work still to do on these, especially the Delta bird and the Pan Am -33. The United aircraft is really a 30 model on which I painted a -20 registration. The difference is not noticeable to me. I am going to really try to get the metal on the Delta bird to lok as good as possible, and Im still tweaking the red and blue. The colors included in our present download are just too "bright" and or too vibrant for my taste.
