Hi Tim,

Other than a slight misalignment of the blue paint on the rudder & fin (top level).. that's a really lovely job and well done

May I ask what amazing scenery that is you're flying over??

Looking good.

But if we are commenting to make it as good as possible, there appears to be a data block on just one side of the rear fuselage.

On the photos at airliners.net, one side seems to have a misalignment of the rudder paint or is that part of the structure?

Thats a part of the structure

I get the impression that is so on the repaint and it is a shadow of that detail that makes it look like the line is off.

Appears also to be sprayed silver rather than natural metal

Hello,

thanks for you comments!!!

I've corrected the wrong data block and the blue fin:

And thanks for all the pictures! On two pictures I have found this sticker:

But what is it for a sticker ?? Has someone an idea?

And Garry you're right, it's more silver than natural metal...I try to correct that as well

@ Dave: That's the great Flight Scenery: Portland scenery

Tks for that Tim

As for the Chippie.. I'm sure she'll look a million and 1 dollars when finished. You dare have a nut out of place and the guys here will spot it sharpish!!

Pity the scenery is where it is :sad: It is without doubt, the most realistic scenery I've laid eye's on

looks pretty ace, i do agree about the spray silver rather than bare metal. maybe a light grey layer set to 30% opacity should do it to sort of soften the rivets and lines also.

awesome screens by the way!
