You may be waiting for quite a while. This paint is causing me some grief due to the mapping on the nose. Not saying it's bad mapping, just that it's tedious due to stretching issues.
 
I have to say this particular repaint, F-HFBI is putting my skills and knowledge to some serious tests. There's no way in hell I would ever attempt a repaint like this completely free-hand in a paint program. It would take far too long to do. I still have plenty of adjusting to do all over before I'd have it as it looks in the real-world. Which I'd planned to go back and do once I got the complete layout finished. Although I'm having a bit of trouble. Currently I'm working on the undersides of this bird, and unfortunately the angles and shading contained in resource material, is far too dark, and/or far too light in the same area to work with. I'm on the verge of being totally frustrated having to create a clipping masks to adjust individual elements as I rebuild the area, to the colors in better exposed areas. I've gotten so frustrated that I've resulted in saving, and flat closing Photoshop to come back fresh at a later time. I've done this several times.

Will I ever get this finished? I honestly can't give anyone this answer. But I know that if I can't do a repaint and get it right, it never gets released.

Better pictures of the bottom would be of great help at this point. So I'm asking everyone. Especially the members of France. Would you happen to know where I might be able to find pictures displaying the bottom of this bird?

I'm currently trying to make contact with several photographers.
 
Best of luck Ole boy

Matt, it's nice to see you finally got things sorted out with your install. And to think you reformatted/installed that many times. I would have likely grabbed the hammer. These damn flightsim programs, injected with all the rest of the crap, can really make the whole process not worth it. But, we all keep coming back, don't we. :icon_lol:
