Scorch00's Repaints

[Scorch00]

Hi all, after a suggestion on another thread I've decided to just make a single thread that I'll update with repaints as it will make it easier to keep track and keep down on individual posts in the forum. I have a number of past projects I'll be uploading to SOH. As well as a few concurrent ones in development/progress. My previous posts for repaints I've already posted will now be updated in here only, again to keep down on the number of individual threads. So as of 11/25/2019 this is what's going on in my paint booth.

Repaint Packs still to come to SOH that have been completed in the past:
FS KBT P-3A Repaint Pack (Airstrike and Buffalo Airways)
UKMIL CH-47D Repaint Pack (Coulson-Unical, Billings, Columbia, California Army National Guard, and Helimax)
ISDT King Air 200 (NSW Firescan Australia, Conair (fictional), USFS Lead, USFS IR Platform, and Cal Fire) Pack also includes IR camera mod for P3D users that I added.
CL-415 (Aero-Flite USA fleet)
Quality Wings BAe-146-200 (Neptune Aviation Fleet)
Aerosoft OV-10 (Current Cal Fire liveries for Ramona, Hemet, Porterville, Paso Robles, Redding, and Chico) Pack 1 (Pack 2 is in development for the remaining fleet)
SGA DC-9/MD-87 (Erickson Aero entire fleet)
PMDG 737-700WL (Coulson T-137 & 138 in US/Australia liveries)
Vista Liners 737-300W (Coulson T-137 & 138 US/Australia liveries)


Repaints now on SOH:

Current WIP 11/25/2019:
Cera Sim Firehawk (SOH mod) Cal Fire, Ventura County, Santa Barbara County, and San Diego Fire, and possibly the rest of LA County Fire's Firehawks as a second pack.
Aerosoft OV-10 Bronco Pack 2 (2nd half of Cal Fire fleet in current livery) Pack 1 will be uploaded to SOH along with Pack 2.
Milton Shupe's S-2F3AT (Cal Fire's entire fleet liveries circa 2019) Yes, all 20+ airframes will be done. May end up as 2 packs, but I'm not sure yet.

WIP on the current Cal Fire S-2T paint schemes

[Scorch00]

Starting south and will be working north in terms of repainting each base's compliment of S-2Ts. Ramona's being the first on that list has been completed. Added shadows and some exhaust staining to the model. The S-2Ts are heavily used by Cal Fire during fire season, being they are the state's workhorse in the air. Adding some "wear" if you will, felt appropriate. Repainting will likely slow down quite a bit during the holidays. In that case, there may not be any new repaint packs posted, but I will at least be working on moving those mentioned past projects here.

Ramona AAB's S-2Ts.

[Scorch00]

Work on the S-2Ts continue. So far I have 3 bases done. Ramona, Hemet, and Paso Robles. I've added more exhaust staining and retardant staining to some of these and will alternate between them going up the rest of the fleet for aircraft variation sake. I probably wont do much the rest of the week as I'll be traveling for the holiday. Work on the Firehawks also continues. Starting on the OV-10s probably some time next week.

[Scorch00]

Thanks for the c130 package :very_drunk:

You're very welcome!

In regards to the C-130 package ironically, I'll be doing another small pack (2 liveries) that will add one more aircraft to Cal Fire and correct the Cal Fire repaint. As the actual aircraft have evolved since i originally did those, the liveries have added markings and numbers to it, which I'm also working on replicating at this time.

I should add that these S-2s are not mine, they are Milton Shupe's great S-2Ts that were converted to FSX and P3D v4+ compatible. Milton also did the PT-6 powered S-2T Firecats that are also great models. The more powerful Garrett powered Marsh (Cal Fire) versions are the one's I'm familiar with, having grown up around them.

An update on my other projects. Work on the Firehawks continues, the first 3 aircraft or the "base," repaints I call them, are 95% done for Cal Fire, Ventura County, and San Diego Fire. I haven't started on Santa Barbara County yet. I probably will once I make more headway on the rest of Aerosoft OV-10s in Cal Fire liveries. I'll be keeping myself busy, that's for sure!

Cal Fire Firehawk livery updated to it's most current version with Cal Fire as of 11/28/2019.

[Scorch00]

Nearly halfway through the Cal Fire S-2T fleet. Ramona, Hemet, Paso, Porterville, and Hollister are now complete. I am doing the entire fleet of 23 S-2Ts in case people were wondering. Firehawks are on hold. I've decided to break them up into 3 separate packs now to make it easier to represent the liveries more accurately as the Firehawks are so new still, registration numbers and all decals/paint schemes haven't been finalized IRL. Pack 1 will just be H903 for Cal Fire, SDFD Copter 3, Ventura County Chopper 5, and H964 for Santa Barbara County. Cal Fire H205, H301, and VCSO Copter 10 will be in a second pack. The last one will be entirely LA County Fire's Firehawks. Aerosoft OV-10s Cal Fire liveries will probably get started next week some time. As Mike Patey likes to say, "Back to work!" :encouragement:

S-2Ts!

[Scorch00]

I am slowly chipping away at the Cal Fire fleet. I have them knocked down to the last 4 aircraft and last 3 bases. Chico, Redding, and Roherville. I'm thinking I'll be done repainting some time this weekend with these, but since there will be 24 aircraft in this, I have a lot of double checking to do to make sure I didn't miss something. I've included 1 additional fictional livery of T-100, the spare aircraft based at McClellan. It remains in the Generation II livery of the S-2T. So I've included a version of it that combines the new C-130 livery with the current S-2T liveries to incorporate the 3rd number into the livery.

Thank you!


Yeah, nice job Scorch!. Quite a collection you are amassing there.

Thank you! Yes, 24 of them. The most I've done up to this point for a single project. I do entire fleets a lot of times simply for the sake of variety and that people may want to represent/fly aircraft they have seen. Only way to do that is do the WHOLE fleet a lot of times lol.


A little break from S-2T updates. I've been cycling back through my past repaint projects and will be uploading 2 this weekend to SOH. Likely one tonight and another sometime Saturday or Sunday (12/7-12/8/2019). The first repaint pack will be the Erickson Aero Fleet of MD-87s (SGA freeware DC-9 converted and modified by Chris Evans) and the Neptune Aviation Fleet of BAe-146-200s from Quality Wings.

Nice! Thanks for sharing that. Makes me happy seeing them in other people's sims! :applause:


The Cal Fire repaints for the S-2F3ATs (S-2Ts) for Milton Shupe's model are complete. Paints were all constructed in P3D v4.5 so they should work all the way back into FSX. I am doing continuity checks and tweaks to them. 24 aircraft total, the largest as mentioned repaint pack I've done so far. This is Cal Fire's ENTIRE current fleet of 23 S-2Ts and a fictional repaint of one aircraft, T-100. I estimate late weekend upload at the earliest, or some time next week, likely early week (before Thursday) at the latest. Aircraft have added shadows, exhaust staining, and retardant belly stains for certain bases for variation in the bases. If I don't finish these this weekend, I will still at least be uploading the QW BA4-146-200 Neptune Aviation repaint pack on Sunday to the site.

***EDIT*** Pack was uploaded to SOH 12/8/19 @ 01:30 CST (Texas, USA)

The S-2T repaints are now available!:jump:

I'll likely start working on the Aerosoft OV-10s here in a couple days, that pack will come here in 2 parts as I did the first pack a little ways back. Figured I'd just wait to upload those or add them as a single pack here. Not sure yet. I'll also be finishing up the first pack of Cera Sim Firehawks. Also, I will be starting repaints for the JBK v3 DC-4/C-54 tankers that were updated by Tom over at Cal Classics back in August (rather quietly I may add) for FSX/P3D v4+ compatibility. Planning on doing some Aero Union paints, Ardco (pictured below), Aero-Flite, and a few other operators. Sheesh, I also forgot that with the recent S-2T upload I pushed back the QW BAe-146s (mentioned a few posts ago) until Monday (12/9) evening.

The firehawk pack is nearing completion. I finished Ventura County Sheriff's aircraft yesterday evening and finished Santa Barbara County Fire's tonight. After I look it over some more and align some of the striping these will be getting uploaded. Likely some time before the end of the week. Pack 1 will consist of San Diego Fire Chopper 3, Ventura County Sheriff Chopper 5, Cal Fire H903, and Santa Barbara County Fire Dept H964.

Also, if anyone hasn't caught it yet. The BAe-146 Repaint Pack for Neptune Aviation is also now on the site. OV-10 templates for the remaining fleet are also done, so I'll start on doing those soon as well. I'm thinking the DC-4s may not get much love until some time next week maybe. I've done a lot of painting over the last couple days and my eyes need a rest lol.

[Scorch00]

Started adding to the pack once again. The original pack (which I have not posted on SOH yet) had roughly half of Cal Fire's current liveries in it. Pack 1 had: Ramona, Hemet, Paso Robles, Porterville, Chico, and Redding. Pack 2 will have the remaining bases: Ukiah, Columbia, Sonoma, Grass Valley, Hollister, Roherville, and multiple aircraft stationed at McClellan (Cal Fire HQ). 9 Aircraft in Pack 2. I've decided to leave the pack split as it is easier than having to repackage the whole aircraft set for two separate sites. Pack 1 will likely be uploaded here the same day as Pack 2, just so they'll be easier to find. The next update will probably be for when the Firehawk pack is done.

Thanks for all of these repaints. I especially appreciate the Convairs from Saskatchewan. My home province doesn't usually feature much in repaints.

Thanks again.

Thanks again.

You're very welcome! Aerial Firefighting is a large relatively untouched area of aviation in the Sim world. Especially in P3D. There were requests on our FB page to do their CL-215Ts/415s as well which I may do in the future.


Cera Sim Firehawk repaint pack is complete. I'm in the process of readying them for upload to SOH and Simviation this evening.

I have completed the current entire fleet liveries of Cal Fire's OV-10 Broncos. These will be in 2 packages. Pack 1 will have; Ramona, Hemet, Porterville, Paso Robles, Chico, and Redding in it. Pack 2 will have Ukiah, Roherville, Hollister, Sonoma, Columbia, Grass Valley, and 3 of McClellan's Broncos, an active and the 2 spares AA500 and AA505. Pack 2 will also include a 10th repaint, and that is to correct an incorrect tail number in pack 1 that I noticed. It will be a simple aircraft.cfg fix and a replacement of the old texture file with the new one. I am going to be looking them over to make sure I didn't forget something and I'll be uploading packs here and simviation on Friday I imagine.:wiggle: You'll also see AA430 in the photo, it was pointed out to me a little while ago, it was actually renumbered to AA501, so that change will also be corrected in my repaints. My reference sheet was a few years old. I was bound to miss a few things.

Great stuff, are any of these skins for FS2004?

Unfortunately, no. These are for the Aerosoft OV-10 for FSX/P3D.

[Scorch00]

I have uploaded both packs to SOH tonight. Pack 1 was released on Simviation several months ago and had an incorrect tail number for AA-410. Which, the fix is included in Pack 2 as is the aircraft.cfg fix to reflect that. For those eagle eyed people you'll notice the thumbnail for pack 1 has the incorrect tail number. These are the current liveries for the ENTIRE fleet of Cal Fire Broncos. Unfortunately the current 5-blade props are not represented in the Aerosoft models, nor is the single OV-10D 4-blade props on AA-505. But at least the textures are!

I have begun working on repaints for the JBK V3 DC-4 / C-54s this week. For those that don't know, the crew over at Cal Classic's had quietly converted the great DC-4s to FSX native making them flyable in P3D V4+. Also, I am working on some repaints to go along with my Hovercontrol Bell 212 and 412 Open Source version conversions for P3D v4+. (that's in the P3D discussion area). I have 2 other conversion projects that will temporarily shelve the 212/412 project, as I got permissions to modify aircraft for P3D a few weeks ago and I've only been working on those off and on. I'll be starting a thread in the P3D section for those projects as well. Which, will also have more of my repaints to go with those. I'll be announcing those projects probably right around Christmas Eve once I have modeling and textures more completed. But back to the DC-4s. I plan on doing some repaints for Aero Union, Aero-Flite, Ardco, and a few other operators of them as tankers. You can see the start of those below.

JBK DC-4 Air Tankers (Aero Union & Aero-Flite)

[Scorch00]

It's been a long time since I updated this thread with projects. The DC-6 and DC-7 projects took a lot of time once they got the go ahead. But I have a series of projects lined up for the first part of 2020 and have already begun a number of them. First on the list is completing the DC-4 repaint pack. Right now I have 4 operators represented, I will be adding a 5th one. But I have 8 aircraft painted right now. Ardco T-151. Aero Union T-02, 14, 15, and 19. TBM Inc. T-65. Lastly, Aero-Flite T-160 and 161. As far as other projects go. The Bell 412 and 212s over in the P3D section will be getting some updates soon as well, but it's not nearly done yet. Repaints wise, I am working on repaints for the P-61 Black Widow (F-15 Reporter), A-26 Invader, AT-802 SEATs wheeled & Amphib versions in US and other liveries, and updated Cal Fire C-130 repaints ( adding T-116 and updating 118).

Also, for anyone curious, Cal Classics did convert the JBK V3 DC-4s (these aren't the Flight Repiica's Payware DC-4 tanker) over to FSX native and they work in P3D v4.5 which is what I operate in. There is a thread on their forum of where to download the updated models. They converted all versions of it thankfully.

http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/attachment.php?attachmentid=73667&stc=1

[Scorch00]

I've added 2 more liveries from 2 different operators. I could literally sit here and paint for a month and not cover all the operators and their liveries of the DC-4. It was such a popular platform. But I have added California National (Cal Nat) T-117 and Buffalo Airways T-15. T-15 is still a WIP. But the main markings are on her. T-15 and sister ship T-14 were painted like Aero Union's P-3 Orion's shortly before being sold to Buffalo Airways to join Aero Union's other DC-4/C-54s that Buffalo had bought from Aero Union. The JBK DC-4 has a number of very well done repaints for Buffalo Airways, but I hadn't seen this one yet for it. I know one exists for the Flight Replicas payware one though.

[Scorch00]

After weeks of other projects. I finally was able to kick out the last remaining repaints for the DC-4 repaint pack for the JBK V3 DC-4/C-54. Hopefully the pack will be uploaded here this weekend if I have the time. These were constructed in P3D v4+ but should work in FSX with minor tweaking. Aero Union, Aero-Flite, Ardco, California National (Cal Nat), Buffalo Airways, and TBM are represented in this repaint pack. As a note Cal Classic's has put out an update for P3D v4 on their forum.
http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/attachment.php?attachmentid=73903&stc=1

[Scorch00]

Last update for the DC-4s. As of early this morning they are now on SOH. I have also included a link to Cal Classics to download the P3D v4 compatible model updates. The FSX version is required in order to update the external models to v4. As a note, the updates include ALL versions of the v3 JBK DC-4 airliner, freighter, and air tanker. This upload is also on Simviation. I have everything you need over there in one place linked as well if you have none of the required base files.

http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/local_links.php?catid=34&linkid=26324

[Scorch00]

Lots of projects in the works. I'm just finishing up a V2 version of Cal Fire HC-130Hs to replace the one in my original C-130 airtanker repaint pack. New livery details and fixing some of the livery from the V1s. Also included T-116 in the livery as well. This one will replace the old one if people have it. I should be uploading it to here and simviation here soon (as in the next hour or so). But I am working on repaints next for the AT-802 in various operator liveries for the FSN version of the AT-802s, which will likely cover both the wheeled and float versions. I've also fixed the texture issue on the tail that seemed to be present in the FSX version, it also works in P3D v4+. Followed by some A-26 repaints, and some P-61s (F-15 Reporter). I'm also working with George Arana to get helitanker versions of the Bell 412 (FSX/P3D v4+) out here soon as well as a DC-10 air tanker (also FSX/P3D V4+).

http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/attachment.php?attachmentid=74159&stc=1

[Scorch00]

As of right now I plan on covering several operators of the AT-802s, both the wheeled and amphib versions. I have photo research completed on US, Canadian, and Australian fire fighting operators. So far already have 2 completed for US liveries. I completed another 2 this evening of Australian operators (pictured below). I'm unsure of the total number of repaints, but I'm assuming north of 6 for the wheeled versions and a number of ones for the Fire Boss, likely not as many as the wheeled version though. The FSN AT-802s I think were overlooked, it's actually a really good freeware airplane. It did however, have texture issues on the tail. I've since located and fixed those issues.

http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/attachment.php?attachmentid=74187&stc=1

[Scorch00]

More work being done on the AT-802s. So far I have 2 US operation liveries done, 2 for Australia, and I am working on one for Canada at the moment (Conair). I am also finishing up an amphibian version for Australia. Some progress pictures below.

Thank you for doing these (all of them). I have most added into FirfighterX. As far as the AT802, is there a secret to using her, she bounces all over the place when I select it?

[Scorch00]

Hi all, It's been quiet in this thread as I took a break from airtanker stuff for the C-130J mods. But I've wrapped up that project and went back to finishing the AT-802s up. The Amphib versions will come later on. 8 liveries for the various operators across Canada, US, and Australia. I've uploaded the repaint pack and a link offsite to download the original aircraft. Which does work in P3DV4.5 for those that are curious without any modification.
