Hi Tim,

Other than a slight misalignment of the blue paint on the rudder & fin (top level).. that's a really lovely job and well done :wink: May I ask what amazing scenery that is you're flying over??

Looking good.

But if we are commenting to make it as good as possible, there appears to be a data block on just one side of the rear fuselage.

On the photos at airliners.net, one side seems to have a misalignment of the rudder paint or is that part of the structure?

Thats a part of the structure

I get the impression that is so on the repaint and it is a shadow of that detail that makes it look like the line is off.

Appears also to be sprayed silver rather than natural metal

Hello,

thanks for you comments!!! :smile:

I've corrected the wrong data block and the blue fin:

And thanks for all the pictures! On two pictures I have found this sticker:

But what is it for a sticker ?? Has someone an idea?

And Garry you're right, it's more silver than natural metal...I try to correct that as well :smile:

@ Dave: That's the great Flight Scenery: Portland scenery :smile:

Tks for that Tim :wink:

As for the Chippie.. I'm sure she'll look a million and 1 dollars when finished. You dare have a nut out of place and the guys here will spot it sharpish!! :lol:

Pity the scenery is where it is :sad: It is without doubt, the most realistic scenery I've laid eye's on

looks pretty ace, i do agree about the spray silver rather than bare metal. maybe a light grey layer set to 30% opacity should do it to sort of soften the rivets and lines also.

awesome screens by the way!
