Keegan Aviation Dove

Post by GaryJ »

Hi Guys, can you tell me if this livery has already been done by somebody?
This my very first attempt at painting and in it's basic form. No need to comment on the colours cos i haven't even started to get the correct shades yet, it's just the layout i wanted first.

Thanks

Yes it's Transmeridian Air Cargo/BAF. The globe on the front has "TMAC BAF" on it. I remember this aircraft very well at Southend :thumbsup:

As i stated, this is my first attempt at repainting so i'm not sure it will ever land. I'm trying to learn photoshop at the moment, but think i'm more confused now than when i started :doh:

Yep That's was a Transmeridian /BAF logo but that livery was only BAF :)

A couple of the Transmeridian Canadairs wore the earlier BAF livery with BAF title and logo and then Transmeridian and TMAC Hong Kong etc but that later BAF livery was only worn by Carvairs..and the Dove :lol:

Very smart it was too B)smk

As for the Dove.....it was Channel Airways first Dove and theor last in service lasting up to their demise so was Southend based most of it's life :)

The Keegan Dove is done to my best at the moment. I don't have enough knowledge of using photoshop yet. Also there are a few bits that i can't quite make out on photos. But first attempt i'm quite pleased.

Hi Gary

Looking very nice :thumbsup:

A couple of thing you may wish to try

Copy the layer with the logo to make it stronger and maybe reduce the opacity of the panel lines a bit :)
