Repainters tribute....

[skyhawka4m]

from a fellow re-painter to all my fellow painters......seeing as how I think the idea is awesome and should be a thread just as we have for screenshots......I will start it with this repaint from:

a special thank you to Bomber12th......my sim is loaded with his repaints and hope many more follow!

[skyhawka4m]

next for me....

GMAN's repaints have brought new life to old subjects as well as made a new product even better....

[skyhawka4m]

last one for tonight.....

Zsolt....he has done so many very nice paints......this paint is a very special one to me as its always been one I wanted to do but with life being so crazy for me since my divorce.....he saved me a lot of time and also gave me the chance to fly the paint I have always wanted.....

Sadly, I can't remember who made this one, but it certainly makes the Lotus Simulations L-39 look great! Thanks to whoever's this masterpiece is!

Wow, that does look terrific. Hadn't seen that one!

[Walter]

Wow, that does look terrific. Hadn't seen that one!

Seeing as I can't find it on Google... Would it be frowned upon to share the paint with you, if you want it? I don't know how these things work... Haha

[trucker17]

Easiest way to share it with him, is to get his email....Zip up the paint and email it.....

[Walter]

Another fun one! I really ought to remember who made these. I really like them!

[swimeye]

What a fantastic thread, all these repaints are sweet. Makes me wanna buy (or download if it is freeware) every model I see here. :jump:

[TARPSBird]

This thread is a great idea. Post some repaints and if folks see something they like they can get the plane and the paint job.

[Barnes]

Hi Trucker

Love the P-51 paints - are they all for the default mustang?

No these paints are for the A2A P51D Mustang Military and civilian...The paints will work on either model..

That's pretty funny considering I purchased the civvy model for just ONE repaint;-))))))

[Matt Wynn]

i only have the civvy one, and that i've got to say is my 'go to' mount when touring... usually over the Netherlands.... just a real joy to fly!

...was also the first thing i painted on my new PC... scenery is courtesy of Nl2000, just Wheeling round by Den Helder in this image...

[Quicksand]

As a long time member here, and as one who couldn't do a repaint if I tried due right now to "real" life, I would just like to say thank you to every one of you guys and gals who do this magic and never cease to amaze me with your creativity... My hat is tipped to you all... Thanks for making flight simming so much fun.... :medals::medals::icon29::icon29::guinness::guinnes s::salute::applause:

[Milton Shupe]

Wow! Some really awesome paints and aircraft here folks. Thank you for sharing your talents and screenies. :applause: :medals:

[skyhawka4m]

Well Mr. Shupe.....you should be recognized for the awesome canvas you provided with the A-26 seen here with a GMAN skin......

I'll second that.....Without guys like you Mr. Shupe we would not have these paints or the canvas to work with.....

Thank you; And without the awesomeness of these paints, the models would be pretty boring. :-)

You keep knocking out the planes and we'll keep knocking out the paints....

[gman5250]

I thought about this one for a while, then realized that a painter is useless with out a canvas. My hat is off to Milton Shupe who chose his models with impeccable discernment. Through his efforts, and those who have built upon his work, we have these magnificent aircraft to grace our skies.

Milton Shupe Howard 500 was the one that I cut my teeth on. New very little about painting, but I took a stab at it using Paint.net program which I didn't know how to use that well.

Beautiful shots DVJ! Who's GeeBee is that and who did the repaint? This repaint contains a few tricks I would like to learn....

Looks like the Alphasim one to me Huub.

[huub vink]

Looks like the Alphasim one to me Huub.

Is it a default repaint for the Alphasim GeeBee? As I would like to take a look at the alpha's. I wonder how the painter did the alphas for the fading checkers and brushed aluminium.

Cheers,

[Firekitten]

Help and advice from others, both personal, and in articles is what gave me my lift... from two years ago, this one...

AlphaSim's Gee Bee R2 repainted by Pierre Lehereux - sometime in 2008.

found on AVSIM. Do a file search on Pierre Lehereux, FSX repaints. All 3 repaints in the zip file.

Thanks! And as often, it was much easier than I had expected...... Just another trick I must try not to forget!

[Bjoern]

And they turned out nicely.

(I tend to stay away from overly artsy paints for that reason. Merely painting complicated logos, like Continental's is already tedious enough.)

CaptainSim's model?

[huub vink]

Perhaps it doesn't look so special to you, but this is one of my favourite repaints. Its Ant's Tiger in a skin by Jeansy

I have to admit that I'm a bit lazy with repaints. Not that I don't like them, on the contrary! I just love to watch beautiful screenies here and I also download them somewhat. It is just that I usually spend so little time outside the cockpit view that when it comes to installing repaints, I sometimes just don't bother. But keep'em coming, I love them and I give here big and sincere thanks to everyone producing them :applause:

Here are couple of shots from a while a go, a repaint for A2A P-51D (in Prepar3D), that I like a lot, "Never Miss". Enjoy!
And now that I mentioned these, I probably have to install some of my favorite repaints back (reinstalled my sim few weeks back and I'm missing many of my addons still) :wiggle:
