I picked up the Flight Replicas DH114 Heron on sale a few days ago.
The model was really nice, but in need of some TLC. First, the sound was fairly limited with no start up sounds and other bits, but I found a really nice sound set over at CBFS. Problem solved.

The skins were good, but a bit dated so I decided to give the old girl some much needed love. The paint kit was super comprehensive, so I had the tools to really do the work. The .dds files will easily convert to PS layers if you want to add them to your own PK.
The PK comes 2048 x 2048, but I took it to 4096. The skins pictured are 4096 x 4096 32 bit.dds files, but DXT5 looks good if you want to save memory.
I'm updating the bumps, spec and alphas and creating a blank metal and two tone skin pak ready for skinners to go to work. The new bumps and spec files will be a drop in to any existing folder to bring your skins up to a more technically beautiful rendering.
If you got this little beauty on sale you'll probably be happy to see this one come your way.
It's a WIP so give me a bit of time. Below are some screens of the preliminary work.
P.S. I know the Kendall Heron is actually running Lycoming IO-540's, but I couldn't resist. Rivet counters, tug my leg at your own risk.
I'd love to see a model with the mods.
Enjoy,
