Don't worry Ben

I'll check it out when I can....I was just hoping for a 'Short' answer.

Just checked it out and it's the same as the other one. :sad:

The rudders are below the fins in the texture mapping.

Might be tricky to line up up but I have no idea at the moment .

I'll take a proper look when I can...but I will need to make up a paint kit first.

is in the new releases section and can be downloaded from this site

@Ben,

I thought I had seen mention of it, but could not remember where. Went to HappyOtter's burrow, but couldn't see it there.

Got it now, though.

@Garry,

There is a "paintkit" in the download that Ben refers to - might want to check it out.

Ian

That paint kit is no good to me my programme can't read those

That is why I have to make up my own

It's just the same as the other model

The Rudder is only the top two-thirds or so of the rear part and is a different scale and there is distortion changle the angles making it difficult to do neatly.

So again back to square one.....the tail makes it it difficult or even impossible to paint properly

The Olympoic was OK because the logo is only on the fin.

I know this suggestion might be considered to be in poor taste, but is this perhaps an occasion where FSRepaint might be useful? I personally don't have it, but my understanding is that it has some advantages when trial and error is involved.

Hi Andy

FS Repaint is a good Viewer and I use it

But that doesn't change the fact the the texture mapping is unsuitable to do the job properly

How am I doing?

Not the correct model with respect to side door, but all that's available!
