Somewhere out there I found Registration F-HFBI already done. For this model? I'm not sure. Does anyone know of it?

Cancel my question. It was for FS9.

Nice artwork oleboy - looking foeward to the french chopper. Short info for interested people, C-FYTX and OE-XDH are available at flightsim and avsim.

Greetings :wavey: Dirk

p.s. : OE-XDH (Delta Helicopter Austria - a fictitious company) was inspired by the real world Helicopter OE-XPP from Heli Travel Munich - the helicopter was used for support of geological survey in North- greenland. During this mission the Helicopter wears the orange high-visibility markings.
 
Thank you. I have several others in mind also. I've been sending correspondence to the respectable photographers/owners. Hopefully soon I'll hear back from them. Either way, I have enough resource on hand to follow through. Some of the schemes blow my mind they are so graphic intense.
 
A small update.

The bird is finished on both sides. Each slightly different as in the real world. And the tail boom is more complete. Plenty to do yet. :wavey:

My alpha and specular settings also need work. I'm not going to worry about those until last.

Maybe I should stop posting these progress shots. I get the impression it's a waste of time. Although some may like seeing work done progressively.

The tail is finished finally. :applause:

OleBoy, don't stop posting the screen shots. Indeed we like seeing what is upcoming from your paint shop. Thanks for posting them.
 
Next one from me - a "firefighter", used for aerial firefighting in portugal.

Greetings :wavey: Dirk

P.S.: Stunning work Oleboy :applause:

Fortunately the real-world chopper was airbrushed to look like it has the 3D effect. So basically I am creating a photo-real work-up of it. Some areas are badly shaded. Those areas I have to redraw.

Here's a few more shots. I added the birds tongue (forgot that) and got the sides of the engine shrouds completed. I see they still need a bit more work.
