DM BAC-111

Hi Tom,

quick update on how she is looking so far. I found a few more shots of the ac all of them showing a somewhat light blue color below the cheat line. So I went with that for now, but that can still be changed if you or someone else tells me that the blue is only film aging and it really should be just a dull grey color.

Am I correct in thinking that the Reg # should be simply XX919 on the engines and 919 on the rudder vs XX-919 and 919. None of the shots show that clear enough to be sure.

Cheers
Stefan

Great work yes you are correct the reg on the engines is XX919 and simply 919 on the tail. If you want I can find another shot of the backend of the aircraft.
 
It is indeed the Grand Canyon...it's a shot taken on a flight in our Saratoga to Mesa,AZ that I use as the background image in FSRepaint.

Ok I will change that around then. The other shots must have aged a certain way then to give that blue-ish tint.

Sure thing..it will be a couple more days...still got to tweak a few minor touches after changing the color back to grey on the belly.

Final teaser....I think she is good to go but I have to put her into the sim on my end first to make sure there is no hickup anywhere. On the road I paint in PSP and check the result in FSRepaint. Usually that works ok but occasionally a texture doesn't display correctly in the sim that looked good in FSR.
If there is no need for correction I'll have a link for you either tonight or tomorrow morning. Have to pick up an avionics cooling fan for my PA32-300 before the shop closes. :icon_lol:

Great work Sunny looks exaclty like the real thing.
 
There are two minor differences that I could not quite resolve. The real thing has a small mat black anti glare area on the nose and the blue cheat line at the tail cone slopes up and thins out just a bit. Bot in both areas I ran into quite a bit of distortion when I did that....so I opted to leave it as is.

Cheers
