Ben,

With all due respect you always seem to be the first to jump on a new painter when they release something. When its obvious that Chris has tried his hardest and put a lot of work into the above repaint your critisism is obviously out of place.

Your similar, and rather more personal, comments on a previous repaint make you a rather bad ambassador for your branch of flightsim.

A little encouragement goes a long way and will ensure that we see people trying new things, being shot down at the first hurdle will just see a core of repainters with the same old names and same old style.

What bad is a little bit of new blood.

Just an observation, nothing personal.

Alex

Ben

Personal attacks and undue accusation ware not what we are about here.

Why not send a PM offering your advice?

Constructive critism is one thing but what can be percieved as deliberate personal attacks are not on.

As Alex says we need encouragemant

Thank you

Garry

Thats looking very nice. I actually prefer repaints with the panel lines and rivets/dirt/wear details as subtle as possible as at the resolutions of repaints, they'd equate to being about a inch wide the way some painters draw them

Back in FS98 days, when you couldnt really do them subtly at all, I used to actually take them out if anyone had put them in, otherwise it looked like there was a "net" around the aircraft.

Anyways, looks quite convincing that...

Thanks for the comment Toby.... If im confident enough i may change the semetrical camo to non semetrical!!! ( needed the symertry to match up the grey/green)....

I might do some more Buccs soon!!!

Looking good mate!

Nice job all round

Agree with the last posts.. that grey looks much better now. I think Toby has a valid point too. There is a fine line between textures looking OTT (panel lines too pronounced and rivets too clear or at the other end of the scale.. no lines or rivets) and that doesn't look a bad compromise

I only wish I could fly the darned thing!!

It's looking great Chris

The only thing I would mention perhaps is the intakes are a little too 'loud'

But the main job is very nice indeed.

Oh yes.. they're a bit too shiney. Is that the alpha causing it Garry??
