The real trouble starts already

As usual with Backweb .. those links for download are dead links .. and this for obvious reasons.

Sorry about that. It's been awhile since I got it there. But the links to the paints still work. It does show the file name for the plane. I would look it up at the usual places.

If Rapîdshare ask you to join after had choised the free download option it's because all the free slots are busy
You have to retry later.

Looks great, mate!

Maybe the dog's silhouette on the engine's air intake cover would be the icing on the cake?

Cheers,
Markus.

I like icing! Something like this? The inner nacelles are as before, only the outer was changed. What do ya think?

Thanks,
Randy

Hi, Randy!

That's even better than the thing I had on my mind:
I was thinking about the red cover covering the air intake duct.
You know: The thingy that has to be removed before the engine is to be spooled up...
I don't know its specific name - maybe: engine choker?

Thanks Markus,

Now I get you. I had actually intended to develop the paint to include the "Leaping Milo" dog logo on the outside of each nacelle because the size and configuration of those two big hair dryers block view of the nose art from certain angles and we can't have that ! Nonetheless I'm grappling with too much dog or not enough, and now your suggestion which I also like and so adopted.

So how about now? Original nacelles or the new doggie ones? Either way the red intake covers are staying.

Release your inner critic!

Regards,
Randy

Now that's a very good reason to keep those doggies on the nacelles!
I also like the the combination "dog at the cheatline's front end" to be repeated on the cowlings.

My inner critic?
Okay - just one little thing I can't clearly identify on your screenies:

Did you set the framelines of this (avionics?) access panel ("Lines" layer in the paint kit) above the dog logo? To me it seems like those lines currently are interrupted by the dog, but I think they had to be visible "through" the decal.

Cheers,
Markus.

Your inner critic is right Markus. Actually there were other parts of the fuselage and tail similarly afflicted. I'll post the fixed shots later today.

You know, my favourite high school teacher used to say, "Works of art aren't finished, they're abandoned." I don't know that I'd characterize my work as "art", but I hear his voice every time I do a repaint.

As if we needed it, yet again more proof that speaking your plans aloud is the best way to hear the Gods laugh.

Lines now appear where they should. Hopefully this screen shot will show that, although sunlight on that white fuselage is washing out the lines a bit. They're quite obvious from where I sit anyway. Here's the latest paint on what is, indeed, among the finest freeware addons I've experienced to date. Incredible visual impact in all views in exchange for very small impact on frame rates.
