Hello All, I am New to Repainting and i would like to Embark feet first into the repainting scene, I want to make an MARPAT F-18 C/D, i have scoured the net looking  for photos of the aircraft and found quite a few, i want to have the most accurate account of this aircraft and it's scheme for FSX, I have been following the work by David Sweetman, and i really would like to know how you veterans in repainting get such crisp and vibrant details out of your textures. I have FSrepaint, DDS convert and Adobe PhotoShop CS3. any help or advice from the community would be great, and appreciated. i think that the MARPAT  F-18 from VMFA 314 is a Beautiful Bird and would be a great addition to the CS line of Aircraft textures. 8-)
