    have just uploaded the Avia 56 kit, might be a little messy in terms of layering but it's up and awaiting admin to give it 2 thumbs up

    John matey, don't listen to them! They're all swigging the ouzo - goodtime!
    Pi**ed as fa*ts, the lot of them.

    As the 2 Polish pilots kept insisting in 'Piece of cake': "Ees cockup!"

    Don't be mislead, they're a great bunch - they've just got roaring hangovers!

    The paintkit's there!

    It's always been there, ever since it was put there!

    AVIA-56 Photoshop Paintkit
    By Nigel Richards
    For the Avia-56 by Milton Shupe
    22/04/2012
    -----------------------------------------------------------
    Following numerous requests for an Avia 56 paintkit, finally here it is.
    We have provided fully layered files for all exterior surfaces to allow completely free access to all areas of texturing.

    This means that by accessing the full range of layers, you can now add, subtract or vary all elements - rivets, panels, scratches, highlights, weathering, as well as the actual graphics layers for colours, markings etc.

    It is also our hope that those teetering on entering the world of texturing for the very first time, will be encouraged to explore layers, which should also effect a form of hands-on tutorial illustrating the logic involved.

    So get some good reference pics, fire-up Photoshop and enjoy going creative for YOUR AVIA-56 paint schemes.

    And remember; FS is for sharing - and we'd love to see the results of YOUR work.

    Enjoy being creative - have fun!
    Nigel (Greece)

    NIgel,

    Are you saying it is part of the Avia 51 paintkit you posted above?

    EDIT: Okay, I see it is simply mis-named.

    Here is Matt's latest post of the Avia 56 paint kit:

    Avia 56 - Nigel's Photoshop layered version

    No Gentlemen, as Milton pointed out:; it is indeed my paintkit for the Avia 56 and not the 51 for which I have never made a paintkit



    Very much looking forward to some new textures for this awesome aircraft.

    Shake off the dust, down to the gleaming metal...

    Having completed the soundset for Tankerguy72's wonderful Consolidated PB4Y-2, my undivided attention is now on the Avia 57 fleet of textures.

    So over the next couple of weeks I will regularly be posting screenshots as work progresses.

    Slowly but surely

    Methodically finding my way around this impeccable aircraft, rivets and panels always labourious but its the stage where all accuracy counts.

    Fun's the word.

    And I'm having plenty.

    Thanks Matt, you just take care of your eyesight for now, as everyone are advising!

    Plenty of time to catch up with work.

    Beauty, she is.... such a graceful bird. It will be nice indeed to see the finished schemes. The "Copper Sun" awaits!
