Here are two new paints depicting a BT-13 my dad flew and had posed for some photos with in 1943, and another Valiant that is a restored polished aluminum plane currently flying today who's owner I am friends with. This model was made by Chris Herring in 2011. Here are some views of the FSX paints - put a lot of detail on them. The res. is 4096 textures, 16x's bigger than the FS9 versions. With that much res. I used pictures of rivets and fasteners instead of making them graphically. With this size, I was able to place them all as they actually are (I expect to hear from rivet counters if I missed one!). There are other photo real details too. Took me 6 months to make these 10 textures, literally 100's of layers. Each rivet and screw were placed one at a time. I also included realistic tape lines on the fabric surfaces, not sure if that's been done before. Had fun doing these, hope you like them! The FSX file names are: </SPAN>CL_BT13_501_X and CL_BT13_G300_X. If you haven't got this model yet, go over to http://www.TopFlightSimulation.com and pick it up for only $14, cheap! Plus you'll help out a great guy who is a Marine veteran. He's had a bout with cancer lately, and I'm sure he could benefit from some sales. The first 4 screen shots oare of the bare metal version, will post 4 more of the blue & yellow vs. next.

the ol' Vultee Vibrator....rumor has it that ground crew loved cleaning the cockpits because of all the gold fillings they would find..

YOU have done an amazing job of detailing this model - really - outstanding work
