A320 Aer Lingus Retro, (UPDATES)

Post by A330Driver » 25 Feb 2011, 17:29

Hi guys.

I am working on an EI A320 in the new "Retro" scheme that should be delivered soon.

I have the fuselage sort of ready but only need help on a couple of things, I am totally useless at doing curves, so I could use a little help on the gray belly and there is also a little kink on the green stripe towards the cockpit windows.

Here's just a little preview.

If any kind soul here wants to give me a little hand with this project, let me know, I can send you the .psd layer to work on and we can release the repaint as a joint effort :geek:

I am just now working on the tail.

Thanks in advance!

Well I went ahead and figured how to do the gray belly and the curves.

Here its the result, what do you guys think?

I still have more work to do, and will hold on to release until the real one has been delivered, so I can update the livery accordingly.

Cheers.

Looks good, but I think it would be good to see some real pictures of that aircraft before releasing it to know is there something to fix.

Here's the first one.

Thanks guys, all the comments and suggestions are appreciated. ;)

And yes, I will wait for pictures of the real thing to come out, and I will update accordingly, I made this one based on a drawing available on the web :)

Cheers

OK, I have worked on her a little more, here´s what she looks like now and I am pretty happy the way she has turned out.

Image
Replaced the titles, added shamrock to the engines, and a friend gave me a hand with the curves on the nose, I think I need to work a bit more on that.

Image
Tail.

Image
Gorgeous.

Retro!

Will finish off some details and I will upload her to Avsim. :mrgreen:

Go Get Her!

I saw a video on youtube yesterday showing the retrojet being moved around an airport, I managed to get some screenshots of the right side of the aircraft and spotted a couple of errors on my repaint, I will be uploading an update today.

Send me an email if you want to receive it before.
