Creating blank textures for existing aircraft

[2021ft]

Hello, good day

Do you have any recomendations to create textures for aircraft that don't have any blank file?

I want to paint a certain F4U Corsair for FS9 that was published in 2004 in by the french Alpha Bleu Ciel team in Flightsim. The airplane is still good for nowadays standards, but it doesnt have the thing I always want to find: blank and clear bmp files. So I am wondering, if you would make a blank texture set for this plane, what would you do?

Hi R,
Well, you know how to paint and have a good paint programme already.

The easiest way and accurate is to get hold of some good 2D plans of the aircraft and size/scale them to the size of the ABC F4U. The plans should be in black and white with only the panel lines and control surfaces on, you can then use this layer to accurately layer over the paint.

Or delete all the texture except leaving the outline of the texture, then use the plans and draw in the panel lines etc, then paint.

Cheers
