Thread: C170B of Alabeo out

    Thanks! I'll keep it going. Not as easy as I first thought, but I think it'll come together. Here's the Chilean A/C. As the interior is common, all c170's are affected.

    I too would like to see you share the nice neutral tan/beige interior with us less talented and patient folks.

    Thanks, everyone. The interior project is going OK so far. However, I'm not sure about re-painting the whole aircraft. Alabeo did include two Photoshop files but my old version won't open 4096x4096 files. Also, they don't appear to be layered, which is the whole point of a PSD. That means you'd have to paint around all the rivets, panel lines, weathering and shadows. A non-layered PSD doc is next to useless in my experience. Maybe I'm missing something. Anyone? Another thing is there is no texture map or instructions which means agonizing over where each tiny bit of metal or that one rivet is that needs paint. So re-painting may be a challenge. The interior is the same but less cluttered and easier to find little bits that need paint. I had to make my own map.

    A question for anyone attempting a repaint of the C 170

    Can someone point out to me where the compass deviation card on the panel of the C170 can be found on the texture files???

    Thanks

    It looks like WINTEXT.dds in the Texture.Common folder.

    I think I looked at every file except that one! Thanks much. Here's what I've done with it so far.

    Looks great. The stock correction card is all but illegible.

    the format has always been a single layer, you don't need to pain around rivets or other items

    VH-WRT after about 30mins of work, this is the easiest Carenado and alabeo mapped model yet

    anyway I will finish the 3rd paint off tomorrow

    Thx Matt!

    Please, release the all aluminum skin WITH NO MARKINGS. Pretty please! It might have taken you about thirty minutes, it would take me about three days!

    Great. This is my first Alabeo. Tell us how it's done and I'll take a shot at it.

    Many Thanks,

    OK, made a little progress...

    That is a masterpiece

    Thanks

    John

    That would be a good idea to release the bare metal paint without markings
    I would be able to put VH-WRT on myself which is about my limit when it comes to painting

  20. #45
    I don't know about masterpiece, but it's coming along. Many nits to fix. Jeansy will probably finish first.

    Looking at your images I might have to break down and buy this one sooner than later.

    Many thanks. It's been great so far. They've just issued an update (ver 1.2) to address some of the glitches like the door opening.
