Ready. This is Thunder City's Hunter with registration ZU-AUJ, based at Cape Town Intl. and flying to some South African airports and airbases.
It has been an easy one, the only trouble were the fuselage panel lines that are slightly misaligned in the paintkit. If anybody knows how to fix it it would be more than welcome. I am using Gimp right now and didn't manage to move them.
Now up to sth. more complicated. Thunder City has a couple of black twin seaters used to ride wealthy passengers, but the panel lines won't show up if I paint the fuselage in black. Anybody know how to deal with it?

Alas I don't think Thunder City are flying anyone any more

.
I'm no painter, so you can safely ignore this, but perhaps you could get the panel lines into dark-ish grey or something? That way they may show up against the black.

Hmmm.. the TC website is still active and booking is still active...
As for the panel lines, they are already dark grey in the paintkit, but they disappear under if I paint the fuselage black.
Here is a small fix, the canopy frames are yellow now

The jets were put up for auction last year if I remember correctly, and they had their licence revoked nearly 2 years ago. There has also been no news on their site since 2009.

Thunder City is closed down and aircraft are for sale. It was the lightning crash that did it for them
