and click on the passenger side wing strut in the float plane to see the canoe strapped to the float struts

Yep, far right switch. Blipper switch. Flip up, flips off the covers. Flip again, they reappear from a close by dimension/local in space time.

If you guys ever want one of the paint schemes that is in the pack to paint with, just let me know and I'll upload it. Sometimes one paint pack will have something like a layer of gold trim or other version of chips that can be imported into another version paint scheme. I do that often. What I do is make small paint marks on the corners (at least three corners) of the layer I want to export to another PSD file, select the entire area of the layer, then in the next PSD file, select the location and then Control-V and paste it in. It auto-locates on dead center because you have marked the corners.

Oh dear, I didn't want to upset you, it's just that this model was screaming for some paints (well, to me anyway) that I started right away...I have yet to make a landing I believe...but I learn, look, no covers:

and no more on the others either:

I noticed one more strange thing: if I go to right- or left wing view, all my clouds disappear. Is that just me, or does it happens with others too? Only with those two views, the rest is fine.

***jankees*** · June 28th, 2013, 00:17

ah, and I forgot to mention I uploaded them all on Ozx, I hope you'll enjoy them?

**Lionheart** · June 28th, 2013, 10:00

Thanks Jankees,

I want to check them out. Brilliant work man.

A request for the Ranger Please Sir... can you add a big yellow nose with the 34 on this version
it may be a what if but I believe she would look very nice

Attachment 89404

Again a big Thank you to for the paints and painters interested in this bit of History
by the way this aircraft was listed in "The Worlds Greatest Aircraft" by Christopher Chant

**doublecool** · June 29th, 2013, 16:51

LH has given some great paint options with the interiors and exteriors mix and match to your liking

mixing with both the Ranger and Warner types

Attachment 89428 Attachment 89427 Just a few in the Keys

Plus I just like this paint... art deco

**AussieMan** · June 30th, 2013, 03:34

This one will be uploaded as soon as I finish this post. VH-CMB has had an interesting history. I have another paint scheme of her in the pipeline as well.

**Lionheart** · June 30th, 2013, 09:23

Isn't it great how you can use the paint scheme from one aircraft and apply it to another. I must admit that I am a bit of a thief when it comes to panels and interiors.

***jankees*** · July 5th, 2013, 01:35

Guys, I have a question. Look at this pic:

notice the black bars between the legs of the floats? Where can I find this in the textures? Does anybody know?

These seem to be mapped to the wing struts upper side. The red is outer, yellow is inner! Hope this helps.

***jankees*** · July 5th, 2013, 09:57

too bad...I hate double textures...

***jankees*** · July 6th, 2013, 02:19

I am once again connected to the internet, so I'll try and upload the above paints this weekend, together with these:

I'll have to redo PH-NDL though, since I found a color image of the original aircraft, and those colors are somewhat different from my interpretation. I was thinking of doing this blue paint with another (fictional) registration, any suggestions?

**doublecool** · July 6th, 2013, 09:18

jankees, Love the radial cowling on this one

Very nice colors :salute:

Was wondering if the problem with the aircraft being invisible on the runway has ever been fixed. I had the problem when it first came out and got a refund from lionheart but really hope this issue is been fixed or is being worked on because I still want this aircraft.
