With so many great virtual aircraft repainters among us, I thought it would be a good idea to start up a Repaint Request topic, so you can all ask each other for specific paintjobs of certain liveries, and those up for a challenge can browse through here searching for something that interests them.

When posting a request, please make you livery details as specific as possible, and if it is based on a real life aircraft, try including a photograph of it.

If you know the exact model you want done, then include a link to it, and even better, a link to a paintkit to match it.

Happy painting everyone!

Hi everyone

i would love it if someone did some canterbury aero club aircraft either a piper cherokee or a piper tomahawk or a partenavia in the CAC (canterbury Aero Club) colours you can find all of the canterbury aero club's aircraft on www.cac.co.nz

thanks

Hi hamish..
After iv finished andrews ardmore 172 for him (in a few days) i was thinking id do some CAC aircraft. I would love to do a tomahawk (what I had my introductry flight in) but can't find a fs model anywere for the PA-38, except for the one included in the "flying club" payware product. Does anyone know where theres a freeware one?


Thanks
James

hi james

sorry i don't know where to find a freeware one from i have only seen the payware one and by the way how well does the tomahawk fly i have not had the chance yet to fly a tomahawk i have only flown a pa28-140 cherokee i would love to fly the cac new piper archer with the glass cockpit and do you have msn my msn address is captain_hamishharvey@hotmail.com

thanks

Carenado do a free Piper Tomahawk here: www.carenado.com/html/freeairplanes.php3

hi trolly i have allready seen that but it won't on fs2004

thanks

It won't what on fs2004? It flies fine on fs2004, I'm not sure about repainting.

it won't work on flightsim 2004 the propeller does not show up on the website it says it is only for 2000 and 2002 it will fly but it looks stupid with no propeller

That's because it's an old FSDS model. It needs to be a FSDS2, FSDS3 or Gmax model to work properly in FS9.

Hi all.

I know a lot of you are into GA, but I'd dearly love to see some more of NZ's sizeable warbird contingent in FS9. Hamish has been great to start us off with repainting Roger Dial's Reno Mustang as Graham Bethell's P-51D, and I am also proud owner of the ZK-DAK repaint (apologies, I've forgotten which of you fine folk did that one). I've previously had Catalina ZK-PBY too.

Now, for future repaints, the DaSilva Harvard is ripe for Kiwi repaints for one, there's more than one great Spitfire out there to be turned into TB863 (even if she's now back in Aussie ), I wouldn't mind seeing both Miss Torque and Dove of Peace (P-51Ds past and present) in virtual form. How about one/both of the L-39 Albatross jets? Vampires? We have the P-40N "Currawong", but how about the Old Stick and Rudder Co's P-40E, the old AFC K perhaps?


Sorry, I'm asking waaaaay too much at once here. All that is long-term, of course .


Ok, for starters: Harvard ZK-ENB/NZ1076? This one's owned by Rex Brereton at Feilding. Also, how about NZ1078, the well-known yellow bird (as pictured)?

And as Hamish said, the former Alpine Fighter Collection Spitfire XVIe TB863? I have a clipped-wing version by Paul Rebuffat which would take to a repaint nicely.


Finally, I have an obscure one for you: the Fleet 16B biplane owned by Graham Orphan at Omaka. I have a freeware Fleet 2 which I tried to repaint by myself, but this simply didn't work. It may be the wrong type, but it's close enough!

If someone keen to do any of these jobs could email me (spitfire_bm144@hotmail.com) I can send you the texture files and try and suss out some scanned/internet pics.

hi k5054NZ

i have also done miss torque mustang as well as the TAF ones but i have not yet uploaded it but if you want it i cans end it through to you and i had a good try at the dove of peace and had everything looking nice on it except the checkers at the front of the aircraft i could'nt get them to line up so i let go off that project so if you want the miss torque repaint just send me an email to captain_hamishharvey@hotmail.com and i really wanted to do one of ZK-PBY on mike stones catalina but for some reason it would'nt let me use some colours of the blues it just show it up as grey

thanks

Email on its way Hamish. Thanks for the offer dude - can't wait to see her online!

hi

by the way if you want i have updated all my TAF textures for the mustang so it fixes that texture on the tail and i have got the miss torque texture there ready for you

I have tried my hand at repainting some of my aircraft with not much success. Is there anybody out there willing to do a NZ repaint of the Dreamfleet Baron (RXP). A ficticious one (ZK-..) based on the Dreamfleet default scheme would be great?

Whilst I am making requests an NZ scheme of Long Islands Christen Eagle (now this would have to ficticious as there isn't any here in NZ) and a Volcanic Floatplanes repaint of Carenados 206 would also be the bees knees (this would go well with Robin's Rotorua scenery).

Cheers

Naki

I have a repaint wish list very long like most people, but i would really be happy if someone could do a repaint of the FS9 Default DC-3 in New Zealand National Airways "Skyliner" livery, both flyable and AI. Its the only aircraft i need to complete my historical fleet of Air NZ and N.A.C. commercial aircraft for New Zealand.

Lawrie.

Good point Lawrie - I'd be up for that one too.

Another historical NZ repaint for the Default FS9 DC-3 i wouldnt mind having, is the old Feildair DC-3 dusters from Marlborough.............................

I'd say jump the gun here and get the repaint in now.
Heck, I've been flying ANZ 7E7's for about a year!
Ian Warren, how's your archival paintbrush?

Is anyone up for doing a repaint of Bob Chicilo's Nakajima Ki.43 Hayabusa/Oscar as the Alpine Fighter Collection's old one?




Picture from www.nzfpm.co.nz

Have a search for "Hayabusa" or "Nakajima Oscar" on FlightSim and you should find it easy enough.

PM me if anyone's interested.

Hi Charl , 5 day late reply - have the DC-3 paint plan's for Air force , maybe other will want to give it a go , also have simple Civil Aviation plan and FeildAir crop hidden away somwhere . I'l get some other project outta the way , would prefer the MAAM model to do but ..

It would be awesome to see an AI ZK-DAK buzzing over the Auckland skies every sunday afternoon, I once suggested that a while ago to be released in co-ordination with REAL NZ Ardmore, but other people did not think it would be possible, and the flightplan would have to include a T&G at Whenupai...

Consider it done - soon as Ian gets his paintbrushes out.
There is a RNZAF AI pack lurking as part of that release too...

I would love to see the Super Decathlon painted in the colours of ZK-CIT (the craft in my avatar). The linked page also includes a paintkit, but I don't possess the skills to create the livery.

Here are some photos that will help:

P.S. I know ZK-CIT is really an American Champion 7GCBC but the model is close enough

I reckon we need the dreamwings Dash 8Q300 in Air Nelson Colours. The Dreamwings Q200 has been painted, but the 300 would make it accurate.

Whoa... crazy... I was sure I had a Q300. My bad guys.

*slaps self*

Dash 8-300, Air New Zealand Livery. File name dh83.zip , available from http://tasmanairways.com Also a lot of other NZ Commercial Aircraft, both modern and historical.

Palmerston North Square Trust Rescue Helicopter ZK-HZM pics of it here ----> http://www.111emergency.co.nz/ZK-HZM.htm

And maybe the Taranaki Electricity Trusts ZK-HPA it is a AS355F1 but would still look good on an AS350BA pics are here ----> http://www.111emergency.co.nz/ZK-HPA.htm

not important but would be cool to see them pop up at some stage.

Yep, squirell350. It is a nice bird. See it quite frequently here in Tauranga as well.
The model i posted the link for isnt too bad either.

Lawrie.

Yeah I just downloaded it and when I get fs9 working I will take it for a test flight.

hi everyone i was wondering if someone could please do a paintkit for the fs2004 default piper cub or tell me if you know where one is because i would love to do a repaint of the canterbury aero club's piper cub BNL because it has just celebrated it's 50th anniversary

thanks

Who can make my day?

This paint:

For this payware model: http://www.pureflight-simulations.com/Pitts_S2A.html

I know the model is an S2A and the real MAD is a S2B but the only difference between the two is that the 2B has a little longer fuselage which can be accounted for with artistic licence...

How about a fictional Air New Zealand Pacific Wave A380?

The only decent freeware model for this paint has to be "a380_800_2005a.zip' found here: http://www.wspilots.com/index.php?page=4&a...le&file_id=2050

Thanks for that website link I am going to download some more helis from there I didnt even know the site was around.

No need to paint ZK-CIT for me any more, "Mozz' from the VOZ forums has done her brilliantly:

If you want a copy, please PM me

Hey Trolly, is that Citabria freeware?

Well yes and no.

It is meant to be a Citabria, but the closest freeware model available is the ACA 8KCAB Super Decathlon by 'Airhead' from here: airhead.hfdd.com/airworthy/04_8kcab_downloads.php

Are there any retro repaints for Jon Murchison's Concorde available?

I would really like to see the Nelson Aero Club 172, ZK-ETU done. PM me for pics.

If anyone is wondering I have done a Airbus A380 in the Air New Zealand wave livery and I have repainted the Historic jetliner groups J32 into both Air National's ECN and ECP aircraft. I could try and post some screenies soon if anyone is interested.

Yea sure Trolly i will just do a few little touch ups on her (find out why the tail blurs sometimes) and then ill post some shots.

This is a screenie of my Air National ECN repaint if anyone is interested.

Yea Matt, I would love to see a link for that Air National ZK-ECN paint you have done there! Is that the 'City of Rotorua' one?

I have another request, now that both my previous requests for ZK-MAD and ZK-CIT have been forfilled.

I'd really love to see Feelthere's C208 Grand Caravan painted in the colours of ZK-PDM (Sounds Air).

There is a paintkit for the aircraft available here: http://www.feelthere.com/caravan/paintkit.zip

Very cool stuff, I had no idea Mike was into aircraft repaints as well as scenery!

Got a download link?

By the way, are the pax in the airliners.net photo sitting on the floor inside that 206? They look real low down!

lol i try to repaint helicopters most and he had a chiose of the ec120 clark and jolly or the skydiving one ,and craig picked the skydiving one you see
i did repaints before i did scenery for my movies ,to make them look different ,they are never that good but just enough to tell what they are from normal views i think the one above took all of 30mins ,so theres not much detail in them rivets go missing etc.. and i like putting photo real textures on them for that" wow did i just see that "was that real?..thing for my movies anyway hope your happy craig id like to do the lettering better ,but didnt feel like opening photoshop up this morning at 1am
