A tough nut to crack for repainting...until you figure it out in Adobe Photoshop. I have been flying up in Canada and the Yukon (virtually) for Air North Yukon's Airline because they are one of the few airlines that are not third world still flying the B734 and B735 actively. Having a lot of fun. I started out using Boeing's livery that comes with the download. I didn't want to spend the extra money or want all the other airlines in the Expanded package. I wrote to Wilco twice for the paintkit because the textures look like jigsaw puzzles to decipher how to repaint from the DDS files. Then I found a download of the EVO paintkit which has made repainting easier. At least as easy as this paintkit can be. I love to repaint in Corel Paintshop Pro and prefer it to Photoshop personally. Though these files all open in PSP with layers, you can't get done what you want to in PSP. So, I bit the bullet and have been doing the work in Photoshop. I have an old version of it and it still does a good job. I spent probably 8 hours getting the hang of it but achieved the result I wanted as you can see from the completed left side of the aircraft below. I have not yet gotten to the wings so the winglets still show the BMI emblem not the Orange Yukon like the tails and the old registration on the nosewheel doors. Looking forward to finishing this and flying in the proper company livery. The photo is taken at CYYC, Calgary International Gate A11. The scenery is a free download quite accurately done. I have flown a few times from here this week on VATSIM.
