"Airbus a320 -200"
Say model?
Some of us only repaint AI models; i.e., Evolve, PAI, AIA or FSP

"But anyway, to clarify, i was wondering where i can get blanks of that specific aircraft"

The operative words here are: "specific aircraft"

I say again: for which Airbus a320 -200 model do you want a paintkit?

All the models listed in my previous post have paintkits online.

Quote from Evolve's site:
"This is the biggest release from EvolveAI in terms of sheer numbers of model variations and repaints available, as well as, the impact this model will have on your AI experience. All variations of the Airbus A320 are available including the 100 and 200, both CFM and IAE engine types, and specific models for JetBlue (SatComm) and Indian Airlines (Double Bogie)."

Gee, I hope I made myself clear this time

"No offence" Hey, none taken  ;D

P.S. Hope that's not too cryptic   :P

P.P.S Do you know which A322 model the originator of this thread wants a paintkit for?

If so, please tell me and I'll go see if I can help this indivual find one. I've already named at least five A320-200 model paintkits that I'm aware of.

What say you, Hagar? Any input to finding the A322 paintkit-in-question?

Negative. As you say, we need more information.

I think FSNovice wants a paint kit for a non-AI model.

FSNovice, my last option, gung-ho tactic for making a repaint kit is to get any old A322 texture and erase EVERYTHING, be left with a single colour silhouette and draw all the details again!

That is what I had to do with the POSKY CRJ-900 paint kit (which wasnt plain white which was a tad annoying since all their other paint kits are awesome)

But this is my style, I dont use layers and stuff, too much faffing about, I just get dug straight in with DXTBmp and MSPaint. It aint an elegant process Ill admit, but the end result is damn good enough for my liking (and my VA who I do all the painting for and they think its great)  ;D

third post in a row, check me out! lol

FSNovice, there is a paint kit on the IFDG website for the A320, I have seen this model with an easyjet livery and it is NICE!!!

I have checked this kit out myself and it looks like a smashing base texture to use, just plain white and clear well defined features like windows, doors, panel seams etc

here is a link to some fab screenshts of the model:

and here is a link to the download page for the A320 paintkit:

Happy painting!
