You make the call Two photos, SpecA & SpecB. Short of that, it won't be long till it's finished.

Also, I think the white really needs toning down. Although I already toned it down quite a bit from the real color. You make the call..it's your request :mixedsmi:

Spec A=darker

I like A. Looks perfect to me! :wavey:



Thanks a lot for making that one! :ernae:

OK, I'll have it done for you tomorrow some time. Too tired to finish it now.

And, Your Welcome :)

No big hurry. I am stuck at my parents' house without my FS rig until saturday evening. :engel016:


It's amazing how nicely that Thorp paints. It really is a cool aircraft.

Well (laughing) all I can say is that I put the templates to the test getting things sorted out on how to apply colors. I learned a lot over the past two weeks messing with Piglets Scrofa, and applied what I learned on Robs Thorp. It really amazes me what can be done with repaints for flight sim. It's a whole new world for me now.

And, rob did a real nice job mapping his model. That helps a lot.
....Now if i could just bring myself to make the paints dirty, I suppose everyone would get happy. Some day.

Kiwikat, I toned the white down a little more, and added a slight (very light hint of redish specular to the wing. And, finished. I think. :kilroy:

I will upload later this evening.

It's a lot of fun watching OleBoy mess with this, and he has also been a huge help in finding assorted things that needed work. I plan to have the paint kit done and include it with the update that I hope to finish over the weekend.

Thanks Rob. She paints real well!:wavey:
