That looks rather tasty Brian :yipeee:

I remember some years back, a wise old painter (yes.. it was you Gerry if you ever look in again!!) saying that the Beaver was a tw*t to paint and thus the model got left behind and never flown. That is FAR superior to the original and doesn't look like its coated in marine varnish either :wink:

Well done matey :partyman:

I see you've been beavering away Brian.

I'm glad you've made the bold step and tried it and the effort looks more than worthwhile to me :smile:

Nice one :thumbsup:

Thanks for the encouraging comments chaps......It was suprisingly pleasing to get the end result....more a sense of achievement I suppose.....it goes to show what can be done when you set your mind on doing something..... :thumbsup:

Brian, Why don't you post the repaint over at "The Pond", for those of us who agree with your comments about the default Aerosoft repaint?!! :wink:

Good idea AndyG I have now posted it over at 'The Pond'....look under aircraft repaints (Beaver Army) and the file will be there. :wink:

Thanks to the kind host 'The Happer Otter' and to DaveB for his words of wisdom :thumbsup:

Hi Brian :smile:

Nicely done mate..I shall have to drag her out of the hanger :wink:

Incidentally, if the paint on the real thing was the same stuff we used for vehicles...'Paint, G1098, Anti Infra-Red, Camouflage for the use of'....then when fresh it would have been dead matt but quickly acquired a sheen through use...as well as chip-fat fingerprints.. :lol: :lol:

Spot on Brian :wink:

ATB,

Thanks for those kind words Del :wink: I have had encouraging feedback on this repaint with constructive critisism which is what one needs to progress further.

The colours have been altered a tad due to fresh information received plus there was a lot of annoying coloured pixilations on the Fus etc......both have been addressed and I have re-posted the file over at 'The Pond' as a completely new seperate file.


This new file has much sharper markings and a different colour shading...... :thumbsup:

Regards.
