Hehe,  Taking a hint from Slient Exploder's reply to my 1st Lufthansa repaint, I sized this one up and figured she wouldn't take long. :)

She's slightly different than the one he suggested, but she shares the same reg. as my new Lufty paint, so I did this one instead.

I'll be uploading her soon. :)
See, it pays sometimes to reply to my posts and suggest repaints.  ;D  (But I'm pretty much done with the A300, 14 or so is enough for one painter, I'll let rest of the painters get the remaining ones...but I may have one more in the shop. ;))

Lovely detail, did you use Active Camera for those shots?

Yep.   I use Activecamera extensively for all my preview shots on the ground.

It's great for walking around the aircraft,  and you can get some great angles using it. :)

Great repaint,Steve,but the only difference to the real pic is that the logo on the rudder is the same one as on the new paint scheme.

That's what I thought too, but upon closer inspection, I noticed that the black ring around the logo is thinner on the older model, so I painted it that way. :)
Here is the pic I used as a ref.

I think that if we had a better pic of your plane, we may have seen the thin black lineon the tail logo, but I'm not sure, so that's one of the reasons I painted this registration (better ref. pics) :)

If you compare the logo on this one to my current scheme, you'll see that the new one does have a thicker black ring around it. (and the blue is a tad darker).
