Re: British A321s

Good spot. The shine on the flaps on the right wing is a giveaway that it's silver. I'll adjust accordingly...

Re: British A321s

Daniel, I'm pretty sure the upper wing surfaces are standard Lufthansa: http://www.airliners.net/photo/Lufthansa/Airbus-A321-131/0865889/L/ I think perhaps the canards are a "soft" silver as opposed to grey, much like the fences, but in reality not far off from the standard Lufthansa grey.

Re: British A321s

I should probably clarify - it's not so much that they're painted white, they just don't have the grey strip that's darker than the rest of the wing surface. Effectively Lufthansa wings are a lighter grey but for ease of memory referred to as white.

Don't worry - the wings are white.

I think they are painted to match the the gray belly paint. Nope, double-chec...

It's a lack of alpha information (a common problem with imagetool - it loses the alpha channel if it's entirely blank).

Small thing I spotted though - you've got the reflection of the nose gear doors showing but generally you'd only see that from certain angles and only when the gear is down. Might seem a bit odd in the air.
