It is not completed yet, I'm trying to make the Arabic writing(I guess it says "From Abu Dhabi to the world" in Arabic)on the right side of the plane better...cutting it from the photos is not a good choice...and I'd like to have your opinions about the colour adjustment... (because I will use it on the A346, the A332 and the A333, all in the Etihad livery).This is my third paint for the A345 (I already made Emirates and Singapore airlines liveries on this aircraft, they are avalaible on flightsim)

The same livery with color adjusted and lighting filter on the Etihad logo, and mip-maps removed(in this aircraft, textures appears much better with mip-maps removed)for the A330-200(I made it for the A333 and the A346 too...but i'd like to improve them using more advanced tecniques)....any suggestions from more experienced repainters?

I uploaded the liveries for the A330-200 and the A330-300 on flightsim...a couple of adjustments and I will do the same for the A340-500 and the A340-600...anyway it looks like that the website has limited functions in these days because they are making modifications to allow users to use the same login data for the libraries and the forums...the next I'm planning to do is the special F1 Etihad livery for the A340-600

Thanx thickfog for those repaints. I got them all. Stunning the details and the logo. And a big collection at that. Amazing. :D :D

Thanks very much for your compliments...I'm still not satisfied though, I have to try more advanced tools in the next repaints...anyway as you can see I removed the mip-maps, and replaced all default windows, trying to reproduce the same windows layout of the actual aircraft, because with bigger aircraft like A330 or A340, airlines often request a specific preparation(the default ones in the paintkit are not very good, they are just black holes)because I don't like blurries and Thomas Ruth Models looks at the best without mip-maps...color adjustment is always difficoult...the next one will be the Etihad A340-300 wich no longer operates in the Etihad fleet(Which had a livery with a little difference in colors and different tail logo) , then the F1 A340-600 to complete the fleet. ;)

I love the windows you did as they look really nice. I did some new reworked windows on my repaints of the Tom A330 also. The model is fantastic though and flies nicely with the fly-by-wire option set to on in the aircraft.cfg.
