Dc-3 aigle azur

Good evening to all, I call to you because I have no real talent to realize repaints on our favorite planes. I thus wanted to know if somebody is interested to create a repaint for Manfred Jahn's DC-3 of the French company "AIGLE AZUR".Thank you in advance,Best regards.
 
Jules, that means I have looked on it and as already said nothing more. The fact I looked at it shows I most probably will do the repaint as soon as I find some time. The repaint isn't very complex especially as I can use Gman's excellent paintkit and bare metal textures as a start for it. However the letters and logos need to be drawn by hand, which is always a time consuming thing.

Cheers,
Huub
 
Lovely shot, Jan Kees, nice find ;-)

This might help a bit as well, Huub :

I hope so RD. And otherwise I can fly it myself.....

Below the result so far. Logo and striping should be finished now.





Bed time now :sleeping:
 
The scenery is VFR France Haute Normandy, with the Etretat fix installed.

Below a few unedited screenshots.









Cheers,

aah, France VFR, I have a lot of their stuff already, but clearly I need more...

Looking good, but shouldn't the anti-glare panel be a bit larger?

I have spend many holidays along the French channel coast, from "Pas de Calais" until the "Vendee". Thats most probably why I love the VFR France scenery.

Yes the anti glare panel is one of the things I still need to work on. Also the rudder should be aluminium dope instead of polished metal.

BTW For those who had not yet noticed, the model is the F-AZTE dressed as the F-BEFD from Aigle Azur. The original Aigle Azur aircraft had Azur blue cowlings.

October 2006. The F-AZTE painted in Aigle Azur colours to celebrate the 60th anniversary of this airline.

A few small compromises as there are some minor differences between manfred's model and the real F-AZTE. But I think I'm there.









Well at least I'm satisfied.....

Cheers,
Huub
