You've seen Virgin Blue Embraer 170s in Australia when they haven't even left Brazil yet?  :-? And I have seen Virgin Blue in upwards of 100 000 times - they only grace almost every gate in the domestic section.  ;D  ;)

I like your repaint Mab. However, in a shocking contrast to Harold's comment - is it red enough? I think that paint should be a much deeper fiery red. The text is a bit too small for the fuselage - it should stretch back to the 14th window, and there should be no Brazillian flag at all. And the blue stripe on the tail should be JUST above the rear door line.

Sorry for the critique mate, otherwise your E-170 is fine. ;)

Actually, the plane is not metallic. I have several photos of a Virgin Blue 737-800 (up CLOSE) but it is a solid fiery (use the US Coast Guard HH-65 Dauphin/Dolphin as an example) red, not metallic. ;)

The term is "gloss". The only way to simulate it is to add an alpha channel. Also known as "reflection".
