Hello!
I was wondering if anyone feels like repainting Nick's Hornet in the following liveries:
VFA-97 Warhawks

VFA-25 Fist of the Fleet

VMFA-314 Black Knights

I know you guys use both Fencecheck and airliners.net as some of your repaint reference sites, just popped on FC. Thought I would get this in before the MAIW USN West Coast Hornet package is released...

I have these.

C'mon! Nice one!

James have you ever thought about trying to do the paints yourself? These guys might not admit it but doing repaints from a paint kit is actually pretty straight forward and easy to do, just takes time.

You can work on paint kits with just about any program that works in layers. I think some of the older copies of Paint Shop Pro or Photoshop can be had for free if you look hard enough.

It really is easy to do, takes a bit of practice to get things looking right but ANYONE can do it.

The hard part is creating the textures from scratch, that's a bit more involved.

No problem on the painting, I just got FS Repaint and since most AI don't required too much detail, I am working through it. The camo schemes seem more advanced to me, guess would be easy with layers.

Never tried... The only experience has been a couple of days ago when I tried to change the reg on the Italian AF all white 767 with the paintkit textures using MS Paint... unreadable!
I never tried it because I don't have any experience in computer graphics, and I indeed thought it would be difficult, especially if using free hand painting.
This weekend I have a bit of spare time... trying might not be a bad idea to fill it!

Well I only started back into all this in 2005, since then I've learned a ton and still have much to learn. Painting, modeling, scenery design, you name it, I've tried it.
