FFX 737-300 - ZK-SJB

[Kelburn]

Thought I 'd give it a try.
I am whitening out the fuselage (using paint ) done by Michael Corcoran and I slightly edited (again using paint ) the FFX Freedom Air repaint of Avsim's engines:







Not that good but it's worth a try. If anyone really wants it when I'm done I may upload it to AVSIM

Looks pretty good to me Kelburn!

I think the real SJB has a blue tail too

This is what SJB looks like in real life:

If you want a 'powerful' image editor, that comes at an awesome price (ie. it is free), and is not too large (about 14megs for app+required libraries), you may want to try the windows version of The Gimp... it is basically an open source photoshop-like[1] image editor... has more features than you could shake a stick at and, apparently[2], it even works with lots of photoshop plugins!

Also, I assume you have 0x Anti-Aliasing... those jaggies are hurting my eyes!

cheers,
HCP


[1] I have read that photoshop users generally despise GIMP, saying the interface is clunky and non-intuitive. However, I have never used photoshop, so was not having to 're-learn' anything

[2] I have never actually tried this

[Kelburn]

Can't figure out the gimp (and can't be stuffed)
Have edited my repaint a bit more. Will post screenies soon

yeah, the pics on a.net show the solid blue a bit better: http://www.airliners.net/open.file/1093528/M/

The GIMP's not that hard to get used to, I used it before I got photoshop last year for my Art Design homework from school (not that there was much of it). It's worth the effort IMO, and when you get into using photoshop (i.e. if ya do art design at school), it'll be easy as. You'll be able to do much more with your repaints I'm sure.

[Kelburn]

I can't be bothered. I know the basics of Photoshop from Graphics but we only usd that once or twice earlier on this year but I can do a few things with it.

Ahh SJB Kelburn!

I never knew the engines were purple?!? Then again that's just me.

Very Nice;)

[Kelburn]

Nah its to do with the light. I will be trying out a few methods to get it to blue

[Kelburn]

Here's another repaint I did today.








I won't tell you what the company is and what they do but they were linked to the major redo of Wellington airport in 1998 and the redo of Queenstown airport and Dunedin Airport.

Looks sorta like Kiwibank
