Stian

Nice work, Id tone down the gloss on the tail

OMG it's awesome. Thank you nick And again a very great repaint.

Good Job.

you're welcome

I want your feedback on whether i should let it clean like this or add more dirts? since she's fairly new in real life, I don't wanna put too much dirt on it..

I dont want like dirt extreme but I sorta like how you did it in the last screens

hmm last screens as in the other repaints or the lufthansa screens?

Yeah... I saw some dirt in some of the fuse lines and like it... Well. Depends on the real plane IMO

i see thanks

ya sounds good. I also want a little bit more dirt but not that much. Lufthansa isn't a second Iberia But I like it.

lol Iberia was a cool change with all the dirt but would look ugly on Lufthansa... Iberia was bred for Dirt: http://images2.jetphotos.net/img/2/7/4/ ... 946647.jpg but Luftys are nice and squaky cleen

lmao iberia was born to be dirty a dirty sanchez! jussst kidding xD

I can see the resemblance... :lol:

lol! Also I would like to know if the grey should be a lil bit darker or not? imo it's fine but I want second opinions

Hm. Engines should be same gray as fuse and on the wing fence... there is actually a transition between Grey and White on the inboard http://images3.jetphotos.net/img/2/4/1/ ... 238914.jpg

ok so I redid the tail colours a lil, made the logo a bit more orange yellowish, the tail highlights more blue than white, and changed the engines a lil bit.

So far so good

Views from dark and sun sides:

Just perfect!

will be released tonight.

Spot on there!!...

Stian

thnx

Haha, don't be dissin iberia guys, dont go there
Great paint Nick, love the wings, and using the engine connectors nicely!!

lmao!

Thanks and yeah i'll use the engine connectors on all cfms now.

good stuff
I look forward to the release,,,later tonight...

night textures

Awesome!!!! What united are you going to do next? Globe, Blue Sky, or Battleship?

The Globe

O_O THIS I HAVE TO SEE!

well I dont like the new united livery which is the Globe
The globe is just the continental tail + the ugly united font. x)

The tail's gloss could be toned down, but otherwise it's spot on. Also take a look at the wingtip fences. Part of it should be the same shade of gray as on the fuselage.

oh wow! could never tell when looking the whole aircraft photos. Thanks for pointing that one out.

Ok guys last update I think it's ready, tried to match the wings as much as I could with reference to real photos.

One word: Ausgezeichnet!

As a Lufthansa fan, I approve.

danke

Ich stimme zu.

She's been uploaded to avsim waiting for her approval. Meanwhile

Wow I hadn't noticed it til now, that there's a bit grey on the wingtips. I thought it's all white


At Nick: You're so fast with your repaints and they're so amazing. Thanks again for those beautiful liveries.

I had not noticed earlier until about a year or two ago. I've flown Lufthansa only a couple of times in the past couple of years, but 2/3 of my flights were on their A330/A340s.

I love when painters put extra detail into the engines, especially the insides of them as if looking from the cabin. Adds worlds to any paint, imo; the fin shadow, the dirt and rough spots in between the seams - only gripe is rather than having the outer wing reflected onto the inner engines, the fuselage should be. I think the antenna just aft of the wingroot on the bottom of the fuselage is supposed to be red, but other than that the paint looks outstanding. Nice work.

Also - about what time of day/season/location are you in some of your shots? (Particularly the very very first one of the thread with only the tail painted) - absolutely love the lighting on that one.

thanks guys!

@ kyle: It's not the outer wing that's reflected, it's the inner wing and the fuselage reflection is there but with the alpha channel you can't really see it. But it's there, I created the fuselage/inner wing reflections
As for the antenna, yea I just noticed that the tip of it is red.. Well. I should've been more observant to lil details like this, it's on avsim already :S

You freakin' rock man!!! Is it already up on avsim because I need my daily Lufthansa-dose rightaway

well looks like avsim is procrastinating on uploading new files. I'll upload it on my blog.

here is the download link: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=ZOY02AZH

I'm still waiting for avsim to upload it.
