Full Length Paintkit?

Print Post  
Hello, i was wondering if there is a full length paintkit (as in, not sliced into several sections) available somewhere?

i really want to do a repaint for the CS 752 but i have a hard time lining up the livery with the sliced up paintkit.

any help is appreciated!

I'm not aware that there is a full length PK template,  your best bets are:
1. Google search
2. search various libraries (avsim, flightsim.com etc...)
3. create your own (create new PSD image then copy the sections and align them, you may loose the default layers however )


not much of a help but i hope it can point you in the right direction

Hi deepsea345

I ended up making my own.  I saved each file as a bmp.  I then made a big PSD the could hold all parts of the paint kit.  I then lined them all up to make one big template.  It's not hard, just takes a little time. 

Now to make the repaint all I do is make "Multiplied" layers which allow the back ground to show through.

Hope this helps.

Ps.  Sorry to all for the lack of contact recently.  Been very busy out in Iraq.  Got a new C-130 repaint close to release.
