Very nice Nathan...

Can you tell me, how do you get that 'bare metal' to look right?

Also, on these paints with logos, do you cut them out of a photo?

Thanks;
Matt

Thanks Nath, great work, I appretiate your effort. I just install it and I didn't had any problems with ACE installer. I may just have just one more request for you (if its no problem?) but I know you are busy now and have more request to do so I will request it later.

Once again thanks.

Matt with the metal i use about 8 differant layers of grays blues and wight and use the smudge tool it dose take some time to get it right as for the logo you can get vectors to us in illustrator and then use on your repaint but for the older companys i find it hard to get the logos so i to make my own .

Ferradini what other repaint would you like ?

Well Nath if its not much to ask.

When I was a child my uncle was studying medicine in Mexico. I remember taking him to the airport with my grandmother everytime he went back to Mexico from summer or holiday and waiting on the side of the runway for him to take off. There was only one flight from Puerto Rico to Mexico city and always the same plane. It was a Mexicana 727-200 registration XA-MEK, I love that plane because right behind him a Lufthansa 747 always take off at the same time, but the sound of those 727 small engines always overpower those huge 747 engines and that is what make me fall in love with the 727. If you could do that repaint, it would be awsome.

I found a link for a picture of that specific plane and livery:

Once again thanks advance.
