Matching up lines is trial and error if you know what part of the texture map is for that section on top of the F-18. Just keep moving the parts of the logo up and down until you are close, then just go a few pixels at a time until you've got it. I'm not the best, and it may not be the easiest, but it works for me.

PS: Looking great for your first repaint!  [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Another option is to make a big grid covering the hole paintkit, and numbering each cell.
Then you'll see which number goes where in the paintkit.

thanks for the ideas..with the grid one how would i do that? would it be better to draw it or get one (from somewhere) ?

There is one at this site called panelfinder that works well - http://www.simmerspaintshop.com/forums/ ... eneral-12/

Lots of tutorials there for painters as well.

cheers,
