My First Repaint

[SeanTK]

Once I get the go-ahead from a beta-tester that's double checking everything, I'll upload it here.
It's for the DHC-6-100 Twin Otter model by Eric Dantes, for FS2004.
Coast Air was a New Zealand - based airline that flew around the southern island in the late 1980s.

An image of the real thing is in this thread:

[Wild Bill Kelso]

Very well done, Sean!
Welcome to the club. :ernae:

I hope you're aware of the fact that you won't get much flying time from now on? :d

Cheers,
Markus.

Nice work, Sean.

I'll also echo what Wild Bill said, " [not] much flying time [for you] from now on!"

 

[Matt Wynn]

yup it's a slippery slope this repainting game... for every 100 hours painting you're lucky to get 1 hour flight time nice job, and keep up the good work...

repainting makes sick and "feeling old"... LOL.... But it makes FUN ! ;-)

Okay, I'm no REAL repainter... But I can imagine how it feels like ;-)

 

[Mick]

Well done!

Yeah, those guys are right. Whether it's painting or something else, everything you learn about working on the planes, or the scenery, or AI, has the effect of drastically reducing your flying time.

You become like someone who used to just run a model railroad set straight from the box, who has now become a serious model railroader who spends all his hobby time working on his trains and his layout, and never has time to sit back and run the trains anymore.
