Sorry if I misled you on the format saves lemmonadedrinker. I am extremeley green at painting and the understanding of it. I am also using the plane in FSX. There are many more here in this forum that are way more qualified to give you and I both pointers about the do's and don'ts of painting FS models.

There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

No need to apologize phantomx1; we all are in some stage of learning in some area.
I appreciate the fact that you guys are giving this a go. Ask questions, share what you know, and we will all be better for it. The key is to enjoy the process having fun along the way while we learn and be creative.

It's alright Milton. Even though I myself am trying to learn to paint, it did draw in Tom with more learning notes as well as the learning notes you have posted. It's all good and it's all a learning process, including mistakes. Your un-painted unique model of the Fleet 50k makes a great learning platform and an inspiration for learning to paint. Thanks for that!
Oh, The Exciting Possibilities
This is an original-like livery done by gman5250 that will be available in our release at some future date.
Shots taken at Valdez, AK, Hope, BC, and at KHOB (FSX tundra version).

A Few Fleet50K Updates
For those of you who downloaded the base package to work on, I am including some updates here.
The panel is updated to provide a 2D panel background.
Added a missed black krinkle paint chip for the top of the floats.
The original download in the library has also been updated.
Just copy the items to their respective folders.
EDIT: Just replaced the zip file due to an incorrect panel bmp

Thanks Milton! Glad to see Garry "tinkering" with some new skins for her too! When I first saw this plane, I had to walk back around to the front to make sure it said "Fleet Aircraft Manufacturing", instead of "Ford Motor Company"
