It isn't a Tomcat!

It's the Angel, again . . .

This time I'm repainting it in a Nepalese airline and giving it a turbochared makeover!

Image


I wanted to give it a little weathering, but that seems to be harder than I was expecting.  It's taken me most of the evening to get it to this point.


Image


There's plenty more work to do on it.  I need to fix some alpha channel issues, bleed out some of the smudging on the spinners and maybe put some of the same on the tailplane.


Image


I was attempting to give the gear some leakage, but I didn't do so hot.  That big nasty smudge under the nosegear will be gone when I'm done.


Image


The interior got a makeover, as well.  Nice white and blue seats to match the exterior, and a new vibrant interior paneling.  I especially like the new yoke made of rosewood.


Image

I turbocharged the engine because it wasn't working so well at the high altitudes I'm exploring right now.  I'll probably release the new turbo airfile and texture together.  Sort of an "Andes Upgrade".

Does anyone know of a good tutorial on "dirtying up" an aircraft?  I already tried the one found here, but it wasn't exactly what I needed.  Anything else would be helpful.

As always, comments are welcome.  Any way you can think of that I can improve this paint job, let me know.

I've tried to make my paint kit as user friendly as possible, since I have run across some fantastic aircraft in the past that had atrociously hard paint kits to work with, resulting in me just giving up on what I was trying to accomplish.  A glaring example would be the B-25 "Briefing Time" from MAAM-SIM.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.
