Turning Russians into Chinese

[Maarten -]

Hi there,

Since I missed dearly a CAAC (Civil Aviation Authority of China) repaint for Edgar Guinart Lopez's wonderful Ilyushin IL-18, I decided to make one myself. Actually five repaints are the result, featuring the early-production IL-18B's 202 (pre-1972 registration) and B-206 (post 1972 registration), the IL-18V's 218 (pre-1972 registration) and B-210 (post-1972 registration) and the "Great Helmsman" Mao Zedong's personal IL-18E Salon 208 (pre-1972 registration).

A package with these repaints is available at Avsim.com, Flightsim.com and, of course, Sim-Outhouse.com (http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/local_links.php?catid=7&linkid=17146). Edgar Guinart Lopez's most recent IL-18 is available at Flightsim.com (aeroproyecto_il18d.zip).

Cheers,
Maarten

Tubes aren't exactly my cup of tea, but I recognize a good "paint" when I see one and that is! Nice job Maarten.
