Have been looking for any repaints for Milton's D-18 on floats for a couple of days now with out any luck. Can someone head me in the right direction?
Thanks.

As far as I know there are no separate repaints available for the float twin-beech. But, for the fuselage and wings, you can use any repaint for the wheel version by just pasting fus and wing bmp's in your floatplane's texture folder.

Yep! The five main texture files that cover the fuselage, wings and tail are common between all versions of Milton (and crew)'s B-18: eng0_t.bmp, eng1_t.bmp, fuse_t.bmp, tail_t.bmp and wings_t.bmp. Grab any paint that catches your liking, download it and simply drop those five folders into a texture folder of what ever version of the D-18 you want to use it on.

I did my Merc Air paint and then just added it to amphib and float versions.

I kinda did it the opposite way. The "pontoons_L" and "pontoons_t" are the float bitmaps. Just add those to any texture folder and you can use it as either a floatplane or amphib.

The trickier conversion (for me) is making a passenger texture into a cargo and vice versa.

Thanks everyone. She sure is a fine aircraft on floats. Would be nice if you could do things like step taxi, plow taxi, or beeching it on a ramp or shore line without jumping out of the water.
