Some Repaints I've done on the Beech Volpar by Brian Gladden:












The bare metal one was inspired by the A Team since they were always commandeering similar aircraft for one mission or another.

Thanks for taking a look

Very nice...like the last one...

Great repaints.....likin' the USCG and bare metal 8-) 8-)

Thanks guys, I'll probably be doing more in the future once I get some inspiration

You paint the aircraft a light to medium grey and make the alpha channel a dark grey. By playing with the two you can get anything from a dull metal finish to polished like my A Team plane. Also you have to have the Reflective textures enabled in the sim to see it. Mind you, this will only work on some aircraft, I tried to repaint the default Lear jet in a polished finish and got a semi transparent aircraft instead. It seems that the aircraft has to have an interior for this to work. I hope this helps, my advice is to experiment like I did and study the textures and alphas to get an idea.
HAPPY FLYING!

I like the bare metal ones myself. But the first one.. Am I actually talking to the only other Chicago Bears fan on the internet?  8-)
