There is no secret to resolving this kinda' issue with a secret painter trick I may have pickup up over the last 20 years. Short of suggesting a healthy understanding of the rectangle and pen tools to create stripes, and generous applications of guides to map out connection points, there is nothing special we can do on our side. We have to have at least good uV maps to tell where the top/bottom/sides join precisely to paint stripes effectively Regards, Steve DraGet my paints for MSFS planes at flightsim.to here, and iFly 737s hereDownload my FSX, P3D paints at Avsim by clicking here

I thought Carenado twins were tricky but at least the had/have seams and rivets etc to help. Anyway, this stops me from hanging around bars and brothels. +++ The World is divided into two groups.

I assumed they were a plastic of some sort, hence why they are white. If anyone knows...please let me know and I'll hit 'em with a buffer if they are metal. 😉 I may paint them black as thy kind 'a stick out.

Steve, they just might be aluminum, I've seen some fairly complex fairings shaped out of it. This might also be a three-piece affair with the leading edge cuff in fiberglass composite and the upper and lower trailing strips in aluminum. If you want to add some extra details to your bare metal bird or a classic paint, check this out at the 2:34 mark with decals below.

N8134Q is gorgeous in that classic paint scheme.
