Hi Thomas, no there isn't as no C1K's wore desert pink, only the K3's and K4's

He did a K4 for FS2002 years ago, but it never made it to the newer model. David hasn't done any work on his models for a good few years now, like many of the rest of us, new family and real world mean that such things get parked up. I would suggest its very unlikely.

You could always create your own very easily with a bit of photoshoppery. :)

All I've done here is change the colour balance from the grey on the left to the gulf'ish tone on the right. This is a very quick thing I just did, took about 10 seconds, from memory but with proper adjustment a better more accurate colour can be created.

Compared to the colour of the FS2002 version.

Thanks Darren

That does, however, shift all the colours and is not really an effective method

Mine was only a quick convert and if I took any time over it I'd create layers, masks or even simpler copy them back into the conversion from the original.

Just trying to give him ideas :)


Could possibly work with a replace colour setting, so it changes all greys to whatever colour you specify and doesn't touch any other.
