HS 748 Chieftain Airways repaint

Post by chester58 »

:hello:
Preview of Chieftain Airways repaint, still have the right hand side to finish.
Due to Limited information and pictures available on the web, the colours may be slightly out, if anyone can :help: I would be very grateful.

It's difficult to see the colours there mate. There's a nice shot (LH) on Airliners which shows the logo/cheatlines to be what I can only describe as a nice 'Heather' mixture.. green and mauve. The reg should be in a square font to ;)
A nice, simple and effective livery :)

Keep going, please -- G-GLAS is one of the VA's aircraft and I don't think there's a repaint for it already out there!

Hi Owen :hello:

Yes it does :) There's always a temptation with a 'well lit' phot to go for lighter shades and with so few as reference, you're pretty much damned if you do and damned if you don't. That's a nice livery and as DavidK says.. yes please ;) Go for a square reg font if you can find one though (unless you have a shot showing a newer, round font) :)

Hi Owen :hello:

It's always a job with the colours *-)

Looking nice

A couple of things though :worried:

The upper stripe and thistle flower were lighter and the lines curve and narrow a bit at the nose

Also, it would help if you reduce the top half of the titles a little as texture stretch in that area makes the titles too tall

Hi DavidK

There will be two repaints when finished G-GLAS (Glasgow) and G-EDIN (Edinburgh) hope the VA will like them.

Cheers

HI Garry

Had to do the logo from scratch, will tidy up and reduce the main logo to stop stretching, thanks for the input. First time doing a budgie repaint.

Cheers
Owen
