KLM Old colors B747

Post by Inbreker » 02 May 2010, 10:21

Hi,

I'm currently working on a repaint of the PMDG747 in colors of KLM. My goal is to make the most realistic KLM repaint for the PMDG747. I have counted every single window and deleted those that shouldn't be there. On the right side, (not visible now) there are 10 windows less in one of the sections.

This is the real plane:

I still have to redo the engines and winglets. Also the nosegear bay doors must still be painted. I know the tail shown in the picture is awful but that's the one from the PMDG livery you can download from their site. I have already redone the tail. Just need to import it into FSX. I'm also going to edit the Alpha channel because the plane is way too shiny.

I will show close-ups etc when I have time for it.
(This is my second ever repaint and my first not fictional repaint.)

Hi nice job, however, I think that the KLM on the tail should be moved slightly backwards.

regards

Hi Inbreker.
If I could give a little constructive criticism :oops: I would maybe lessen the alpha on the tail as it shines too much in my opinion.
At the end of the day it's your work so you can decide. ;)

@sknepper, I'm going to quote myself again xD. As you can read in the first post I'm going to adapt the A layer. Maybe people can't really read the text as they get too extracted by the pics or something... Anyway, my quote:

Okidoki! Sorry I didn't see it. I am a bit dyslexic and miss some text. Good luck with the new tail :).
