November 7, 20187 yr Folks WIP of an Alitalia livery. 80% done, which means I have 80% of the time to go... Learning a new paint kit and PS at the same time, plus only my second livery, first with bare metal to contend with... A lot still to do and a lot to learn. Hopefully done by Xmas... The variation on this one won't take too long. Mike Edited November 7, 20187 yr by Mickel Mike Dryden
November 8, 20187 yr Looks like an excellent start! All my FSX/P3D repaints are here on Avsim, for my MSFS repaints, go to FS.2

November 8, 20187 yr Author More WIP. Titles sorted. Getting a feel for the curves. Need to lose the shine next. Then fix the front and back. Left the fuselage grid on to see how it all fits. I appreciate the encouragement. I'm going to need more when I feel like throwing the mouse through the wall trying to get the nose right... Edited November 8, 20187 yr by Mickel Mike Dryden

November 9, 20187 yr Author hehe... he already knows he's going to have to suffer my dumb questions when I get stuck... He partly brought it upon himself. 😉 Mike Dryden
November 9, 20187 yr Mickel, titles look fine, now for all those stripes to line up, especially below the tail... two possible avenues: find another paint that has similar lines and use that as an example, maybe this one: or make a fine grid of perpendicular lines in different colors in the problem area to figure out which part of the textures connects to which other part. Don't worry about shine, alphas and/or specs, first get the textures right. 23 hours ago, Pat Mussotte said: I love your 049 repaints! How about practising your art on the Six? Cheers but I did!

November 9, 20187 yr Hey Mickel! Hav fun and take your time for your repaint! I proceed a lot with the "trial & error" method with diff. colours that Jankees mentionned. Perhaps he does have a lot of other tricks & tipps? 🙂 But this tail-part of the DC-6 is the plague.... See what I only managed after hours : If you find the solution for your Alitalia repaint, let us know 😉 Barth Quentin Barthélemy
November 9, 20187 yr Author little apparent progress, but got some housekeeping done (involved a fair bit of reworking - rookie errors) which will make the rest easier. Temporarily killed off the gloss to make checking easier. Blue stripe to the tail section almost works. Need to repeat it three more times though... Mike Dryden
November 9, 20187 yr Three more times? All my FSX/P3D repaints are here on Avsim, for my MSFS repaints, go to FS.2
November 9, 20187 yr Author Yeah, the three light blue stripes. Then mirror them for the other side, obviously. Mike Dryden
November 10, 20187 yr Author Nose, well, yep. Work to do. Tail stripes are getting close. Decided reg is too big, so will have to shrink. Alitalia is too small on the wing... Mike Dryden
February 18, 20197 yr Author Closer... Almost down to pixel chasing now... Needs some more work on the nose and tail. I feel like the end is in sight. Not sure if the Alitalia on the fuselage should be the light blue, rather than the dark. I think the dark was later. But I do prefer it over the light! I'll take any advice on the matter. :-) Mike Mike Dryden
February 18, 20197 yr MIKE- I AM FOLLOWING THIS WITH INTEREST, however, I am completely inept at painting. If you are getting advice from Jan, you are GOLDEN. There are few in his league, and you are in GREAT hands. This aircraft is one of the updates I am particularly looking forward to. Once PMDG finishes the few niggles remaining, and PBR is let loose- this will be an incredible bit of kit! C Edited February 18, 20197 yr by cavaricooper Best- Carl Avari-Cooper
