Below is a link to download paint kits for the listed aircraft models. PSD and PSP formats included_4096 textures with rivets, panel lines and screws on separate layers. Also included is artwork for the Aero-500 ID Plate affixed to the nacelles on some versions, the original VFR Receiver found in the "Ike" VC and a better prop texture.

Thanks Falcon.
Very Welcome. Appears to have been downloaded 30 times so far since it was posted so we should be seeing some new liveries maybe? I'm also working on one for the recently released Shrike, but it has some real problems with alignment. Just painting one side and flipping it to match the opposite side doesn't work. The mapping is twisted and so what I am having to do is select one layer containing the panel lines and pin the nose portion to remain stationary and then basically rotate the entire layer off that point (up on one side and down on the other side) until both halves are aligned correctly. Simply moving a layer up or down. . .forward or back doesn't work. You can see the mismatch on the original scheme if you look at the back of the airplane. When I get it corrected, I'll release that PK as well.

Coming along nicely but repainters would have to understand that while the rivets and panel lines will be fine as is, any graphics applied that extend to both the nose and the tail would have to be aligned in the same way I'm doing them now, otherwise they won't match. Just a HU.

Paint Kit coming along. Rivets and screws next. . .a final check to be sure everything lines up and both the PK and this revision (in hi-res) of the Blue Shrike will be uploaded.
