There is a difference between the repaint kit and the air france template - namely the layers so you can get your lights/shadow/detailing etc correct. Something you would not be able to do with the air france tiles alone.

Anyway, I'm going to persevere and learn how to use the repaint kit, because I love doing repaints, and this 767 needs some good liveries 

Terrence, don't you work at mcphat studios?  If so, do you guys have plans to do any repaints for the CS 767?

I suppose you're referring to the fact the fuselage is spread over several texture files?
It's that way with every CS repaint kit (or at least the ones I tried: C-130 X, Xload, 757)...
This just due to the fact the fuselage texture is spread over several texture files.
this has been brought up in the 757 forum too, the only workaround I know is to put them together yourself in a new (very large) PSD, and fragment them again when you're done painting.

its not my first time..i got some paints incluiding american 757 and arrow cargo..ect,,thanks for your reply

Until someone figures out a way to use acrylic paints and a 5-ought brush to paint airplanes, I'm leaving painting to the pros rather than fly something I would do that would suck.  Bad

We have seen many different kits, and truth be told ; fold-out kits -as we lovingly call them- aren't the easiest kits to work on. Of course a two sided, full fuselage kit is easier, but it also gives a lot more stretching.

It is something you -if you are serious about painting-  have to get comfortable with and proficient at.

I cursed, and screamed when it took me 3 hours to align a Flybe 3 piece fold out, with the Flybe titles running from the aft belly to the top of the vertical stabilizer (bear in mind the vert stab is cut in two parts as well, as the rudder is a separate part). So here I was aligning the belly, with the left side, the left side with the top, the top with the vertical stab and the vertical stab with the rudder... And when I was done, I had to do the same for the right side all over again, since the Flybe titles aren't the same on both sides...

Not everything is easy people, get used it....

Secondly, let's not forget : calling something a joke, where people worked hard and long for, isn't the best way to get them to change it for you.

Last but not least : Yes, we have to make a total fused kit to be able to work with it, but we've never done otherwise. It's part of the 'game'..

Good luck to all painters. We've got ourselves a nice kit, a nice model, and as soon as we can spare some of the 8 or so people working on the 757 UHDT liveries, we'll shoot them over to the 767...

Thanks for the info Terrence.  Oh, and before I forget.  Kiniu, the 767 came with 4 liveries not 3.

Best Regards,
Robert
