Very well! My first repaint was of the BSMP Saab 2000 in the Etihad Regional Colours.
Can we exchange our experience via PM?
:) Thanks

Yes, the paintkit has a us roundel which should be replaced/reworked. This error is also on most of the other P -3 repaints. Easy to fix though!

Oh well, I'm happy with it for now. I just wanted to see what I could do and how far I can go with it. :adoration:
 
Sorry, I just noticed that I did not change the roundel on the wing when I made the paint kit. The one on the fuselage of the paint kit had been changed and is correct.

JMBiii,

Could you please send me a PM with what is corrected so I can make the changes. Thanks.

GE

Edit: or send me the corrected paint kit with info as to what was corrected.
 
Roundels for P3

I've done some research research research and also noticed that their stock US Navy textures do not have any wing bmps included in there texture folders, yet when you choose say
VP-5 (one of KBT's own), the wings appear when you select and fly it. Where are those wings coming from? Also, their (KBT) wings roundels do not measure up to the same as
the US Military standard of what a roundel should look like

Now both left and right start tips are touching the white bars on their respective sides.

Now hold that thought..... and look what KBT uses.....

This is KBT's VP-5 texture

Thats why It might be a good investment of time to change the roundels on the textures as it will improve the accuracy compared to the real world orion schemes. Roundels are on most aircraft among the first details the eyes focus in on and getting them right is a good start for any repaint :)

if the wing textures is not in the spesific paint folder, there is probably a shared texture folder which holds all common textures.
 
GE;

Jens is correct. Also check your PM. I'll upload a revised .psd file of the wing textures with a correct version of the roundel in a bit.

That's exactly right!

P-3 PaintKit Wings

Here's the two wing .psd files for the P-3 paint kit for those who have it.
The roundels have been corrected. The roundel layer on the wing bottom can be copied and pasted on a fuselage layer wherever needed.
I did not include one in the paint kit on the fuselage as the position varies on the different (hi-viz, lo-viz, gray/white, orange/white) paint schemes.

Wing Roundels

As you can see I fixed the wing top/bottom roundels. I did not use Joe's corrected PSD as I made the changes before the corrected PSD was released. I used Paint.net and added the correct roundel as a layer and resized it on top and bottom best I could. The sides - fuselage is a PITA as the roundels for the fuselage are applied over two different bmp files. Part of the roundel in on one and the remainder is on other bmp file. Wish I knew how to make the fix easier.

This one is a bit hard for me to fix:
