It does look temptung. Im just a little confused as to what is being modeled. What am I getting for the $40? Systems etc? One thing personally, I feel like for $40 I should be getting a paint kit with PSD's at the least since many devs who charge less provide these. Not just the blank texture, but that's my opinion. The blank texture is not ideal to work with and extremely limiting. My while issue with the Alabeo/Carenado product is that for $10 more I'm into either VRS, A2A, or Milviz territory. A product is worth what people will pay for it I suppose. I'm just flabbergasted when I read their Facebook page....same people, same deer in the headlight praise and then same complaints....over and over and over. As always it's interior/exterior visuals are impecable. No Glass, so it should be an FPS lightweight...hopefully!

I'm with you Rick. Many people (including myself) want eye candy, (but I want more hehe).

But, as I always say with Carenado, modelling and textures looks amazing (TM)

I'm no repainter, but did manage to get a US reg on one.

Finished two more today. Also reworked the interior - grey panels and seats. Unfortunately Carenado had mirrored the Underwing-textures, so it is not possible to add a Underwing-Registration to the euopean Repaints. Maybe they will update this - we will see ...... :mixed-smiley-010:

For that amount of money I would have expected at least a dedicated model for the Dutch Coast Guard livery, that included the sensor equipment... :mixed-smiley-010:

Side sensors look the same in Finnish version. A large radome under the belly differiates from Dutch version.

Hi Fireball6

Good job on the interior. For some reason, I really like light blue panels on my aircraft. Any chance of doing one in light blue or pass on the secrets on how to do it?

Many thanks for your work.

John
 
Love that Finnish border guard livery, hope someone will make it for the Carenado Do228. That dark grey VC looks great too BTW, keep us updated!

Cheers!/Andreas
 
First reworked paints and interior are ready to go - if you want them, please send me a pm. Below are the available paints.

There is nothing special with the change of the interior-color, simple color-reduce of the blue in GIMP - and then copy and paste of parts in Paint.

Thanks Fireball6. What file are we looking at to change in GIMP?

Tks.
