There haven't been many repaints for this model (which I really like) so I decided to try a simple one based on the plain white textures, COMPs and NORMs provided. The finished textures were converted into PNG.DDS format with LordFrite's MSFS Texture Toolbox, well worth a look if you like to paint but don't like Blender. https://flightsim.to/file/27707/msfs-textures-toolbox
Painting the Chippie proved a bit more involved than just washing colour on top - it's not a perfect reproduction, for which you can blame me (and I can blame some of the texture mapping) but overall I'm quite pleased with it.
INSTALLATION
Unzip the download, drop the 'AH_Chipmunk_G-ALWB' folder into your MSFS 'Community' folder and you should be good to go. Repaint by Steve Mercer based on textures created by Aeroplane Heaven, made with paint.net and LordFrite's MSFS Texture Toolbox.
NOTE
There are new NORM textures for both wings to reduce the apparent size of the fasteners and also give the impression of a slight sag between the ribs. If you don't like the effect just copy LWFTWING_NORM.PNG.DDS and RIGHTWING_NORM.PNG.DDS from any other scheme into the Texture.G-ALWB folder and overwrite when prompted.
