Project Airbus – Talk

Hi Guys, now i am painting two italian A321, but i get some problems, because the paintkit has no effects, if somebody can help me with those effects i'll appreciate it...tks

What do you mean with "effects"?

Do mean that there are no layers in the fuse_base.psd?
Are you using Gimp?
You could try downloading this updated fuse_base.psd from this link:

I want my textures to appear something real, like Tom Collins textures with shines and dirts, i don't know how to make it's, and the paintkit have no effects, i want to know if someone here wants to make it for me...tks all of you.

Its a lot of work and every painter have his own tricks and ways to do this - and finally not every livery have the same "effects". Just try it - use layer for layer and add dirt and shine - its a trial and error game. Also Tom Collins learned from paint to paint and improved his paint all over the years.

An artist never say how he painted a picture.
A chef never says his secret behind a good sauce.
A magician never say his secrets.

I did around 30-40 PA paints so far - and with every paint i add new "effects".
Be happy that there is a paintkit out. Quiet easy to use. This is not a matter of course.

Ok! As you might have noticed, I'm newbie here ... I enjoyed your words, I still have a lot to learn about repaints, I'll continue to work and come over the forum where I can to learn more, you'll have news about my work, thank you for any way.

Well, my opinion: why not get some planes new and shiny to paint? A plane with dirt is real, but not so welcomed and beautiful.
