Yes I am. I had this idea today about a repaint for DMs BAC 111 ZE433 is included in the package as the Eurofighter Typhoon radar test aircraft. I was thinking of this aircraft in the Nimrod R1 grey or RAF BAE 146 livery.
 
Fictional paints are perfect for getting started with repainting aircraft as you won't have to worry about accuracy of logos, stripes or else...
 
If it was to be made id like the Nimrod grey but keep the serial number ZE433. I would do it myself but I dont have the tools to do it.
 
The state of the art passed me by years ago, but the best way to learn is to get in there and screw up a few times.
 
that reminds me.... gotta record my series on Repainting etc... yet another bally thing to my endless list of to-do's :icon_lol:

Looks complicated and im useless when it comes to complicated stuff.
 
Looks like doing it yourself is your only choice then. :blind:

Don't worry, we've all started somewhen some aeons ago.

i started with Mike Stones aircraft and MS Paint :icon_lol: on the FS2004 side.... that was a challenge to do anything right with MSPaint... i then purchased Photoshop from a bonus i got from work and have never looked back since...

i'll most likely be repainting this weekend, so can make a new series as i go... here's the old one.... Episode 1... it gets clipped, so this time i'm going to keep episodes to about 8min chunks...
