C123 repaints continued.

Steve,
Just got the 123 installed and sorted out. Thanks for the repaints! I hope you'll put the VIP one and the SAC one out also! I've been flying this all afternoon (after tweaking the air file a little to suit myself). Here are a few screenies! Your effort is greatly appreciated. I even D/L'ed the paint kit you posted so I may try some my self.

Still at it, I see...
I've been busy too.
I've done an Air Force Reserve bird at two stages of its career, first in silver paint, then the same plane some years later in overall Aircraft Gray (aka "ADC Gray.") I think that overall Aircraft Gray livery makes any plane look good.
I've also re-done my Air America textures that I first released right after the C-123 was released. Those were OK, but they weren't reflective and the looked like silver paint, not bare metal. In those days I didn't know how to enable reflective textures in a model that didn't come that way. The new version is reflective. Alas, by using the alpha channel for reflectivity, I could no longer use it to make the wing tanks disappear, and it seems that AA never used the wing tanks. The polished metal look is worth it, though.
I've also done that SAC bird in reflective natural metal, a natural metal TAC assault transport, and an air assault tanker in a nice white and silver paint livery with orange and black trim.
I thought I was gong to start packing them up for release today, but at the last minute I thought of a way to enhance the bare metal schemes, so I'm starting them over, partly. It's that delightful task of changing the base colors without changing the markings on top pf them. Thank goodness for layers...
Might be able to release this evening, but another day or two is probably more realistic.
Here are the ones that are finished (I think. I hope...)
