I am making this available like the others for anyone who wants it. Use it as is or modify as you see fit. I feel it necessary to once again caution repainters that because of the skewed mapping for this airplane you cannot simply paint one half and flip it for use on the other half, they will not mate up. That is very visible on the original livery. The panel lines and rivets are correct, they have been adjusted to compensate for the positioning and do not need to be moved but any paint scheme that incorporates graphics that either cross over from one half to the other or simply require that they match up at some point will require considerable adjusting to get them to line up.

The best way to visualize the problem is to turn off my blue paint layer and then look at the difference between the original panel lines and graphics and where mine are after I adjusted them. 'Nuff said.

Thanks Ed for taking the time to do this so others can do up some new paints for the upgraded model.

Very welcome expat! In addition, here is something I failed to include. . .the Paint Kit in "PSD" format for PhotoShop users.
