	Looking for a repaint suggestion of the mighty Herc to do when I get back in 5 weeks. I am leaving this open to the comunity. Post requests and i'll run a poll to get a winner. Criteria is that it must be either a C130"E", "T", "KC" or L100 Dax (I have plenty of 757 requests but C-130's get priority).

	Well I would love to see a KC-130 Dax. This one should be a challenge because CS hasn't release the KC-130 yet. It's VMGR-352's (one of my old squadrons) KC-130J . This has a particuarly sweet paint scheme. It's the C.O.'s bird. http://www.airliners.net/open.file?id=0957152&WxsIERv=Ybpxurrq%20Znegva%20XP-130...

	I'll wait for the release of the KC-130 model and then my vote goes to the HC-130. At least these are how our HC's are painted at D-M. Close anyway.

	I added the KC-130 to the list as it should? be released by the time I return on the 23rd April. Even if is not released by then, I can still do the majority of the work using the existing repaint kit and modify it when released.

	I just noticed that particular A/C is a J only. They don't have the refueling pods installed on it yet. So that could just be used as a cool j-repaint. I doubt that we'll be lucky enough to get a KC-130 J but it would be sweet to have both.

	I have to admit I didn't purchase the "J" expansion. When I realized that it was not a full "J" expansion with cockpit and performance I didn't want to feel disapointed. If the "J" repaint kit becomes available to all I will happily do the repaint. Dax p.s. I am thinking of making either a msn group or website to host my work and tutorials on how to paint aircraft using CS's repaint kits.

	That's cool. I would definatley like to see you make a msn or yahoo group. That would be cool. I'd like to repaint. I'm just not going to spend a whole lot of money on photoshop. Do you know of any free alternatives. Besides the free trials?

	You can use any paint program. Ulead, Paintshop. I got my photoshop from Ebay for a very good price. I found a progam called Gimp. It's a free alternative to photoshop. Only stumbling block is all of CS's repaint kits are made using Photoshop so there could be compatiblity issues. http://www.connectedphotographer.com/issues/issue200408/00001353001.html Dax

	Ok. I got the corel 30 day trial. But my textures are blurring. I'm using dxtbmp to convert the files and saving them as dxt3. How do you make them clear?

	When using the dxtbmp program you also need to deselect "mitmaps" before saving. This will eliminate multiple mitmaps. This is the cause of blurring in my earlier repaints. Can't give exact description of menu options in dxtbmp. I am working of memory. Dax
