Has anyone got a paint kit for Rick Piper's Mk 3 chippie that they would be prepared to share with me?
We would like to paint it in the colours of our VA.
Thanks

Re: Mk 3 Chipmunk
Hi Den 
Welcome aboard
Not sure what you mean by a Mk.3
There were T1, T2, T10, Mk.20,21,22,22A etc??
I've not got the model but is it not the same mapping for all in the package?

Re: Mk 3 Chipmunk
There must be one around, I remember doing the welcome screen for a VFR club a few years ago and it featured one of their repainted Chipmunks.
Check at CixVFR website, Den, maybe ask the guys - they are friendly enough.
Hmm - there was a few years back:

Re: Mk 3 Chipmunk
Really? 
I tried it and it came up a blank!
I've been looking around since and come up with nothing really useful, except a page with some repaints on by Chris Brisland - eagleskinner.
Anyway, Den, if you have no luck getting the paint kit, you might like to drop Chris a line - his email address is on this page:
http://www.eagleskinner.com/readme.htm
The Chipmunk pages at Britsim are coming up extremely weird here - the whole page is tiled, showing multiple images of every image file on it, including the zip one!
It's enough to send a bloke cross-eyed!

Re: Mk 3 Chipmunk
JD..
I've downloaded the file that Rick pointed to in that thread and it opens. There's a PSD for the basic silver Chippy and an alpha.bmp

Re: Mk 3 Chipmunk
Well would you believe it 
I revisited the page and tried a right-click and "save target as..." and found it was already in my downloads folder!
Must have downloaded the first time I did it - all I saw was a blank page, though. I wish the downloading process in Firefox was a little more obvious!

Re: Mk 3 Chipmunk
Thanks for the welcome guys, and sorry for not getting back earlier.
To clear up a few things.
DaveB You're right, the version I refer to is theDX10 compliant one with the .dds textures. I have been in contact with Rick Piper about this and he suggested coming here.
JOhn- your post about the CIX VFR club made me chuckle. I am a member of the CIX and the leader of the Chippie formation team We currently use the older, FS9 version, but I want to use one that will show correctly with DX10, hence this search.
I will have a look at the page you refer to for Eagleskinner. I now have done and there is a reference to a paint kit which I have downloaded. We'll give it a go and see how we get on. Will let you know.
Thanks again chaps.
