A paintkit Dave ? sort of
Here's the link to it -

These are the PSP files for the two Aircraft Marks. The files not included here are not in PSP format being DXT3 bitmaps available from the aircraft models.
As is my habit, I've already sent the files to Peter (the painter).
Cheers

Thanks Dave, unfortunately, I can't open PSP's.
edit:
Installed the PaintShopPro trial, opened and converted to PSDs. Took longer than converting the MDLs!

My modelling skills (in any sense) are zero and I'm not much help with anything else, but I do like Gloster Gladiators, so I'll offer my only bit of worthwhile constructive criticism...
I think the front of the cowl - the collector ring - is a little too "open", leaving too much of a gap between it and the spinner (and showing too much engine). It looks like a perfect Gloster Gauntlet cowl, but not a Gladiator.

Thanks for pointing that out Charlie.
That's what you get by following 3-view plans too closely and not checking real-life stuff enough.

Silver Alert
Dave's flightsim download has a different sim reference to Peter's repaints.
Not to worry Peter, we'll make sure the Civic driver gets home safe from here. I'll catch him tonight

Will you be making any changes based on this Dave?

No worries - I only aim to help you produce as accurate representation as possible (as I say, I can’t do it myself so can only offer opinion and moral support!).
Aeroplane Heaven know how bad I can be from the endless VC10 feedback!
