Just another approach , painting this bird , it looks like I cannot stop doing it.

Creating extra windows ,doors and hatches, its a special sport.

A bit of painting and bumpmapping.

Please feel free to zoom in on the pixels.

Aircraft-developing , paintwise spoken , whahahaha...............

Very nice

Fantastic livery! I like very much the detail of the fuselage. Great job!

Perhaps you would also like to do an Iberia ones? You know, to fly over Canary Islands...

Cheers,

Leen,

This is a work of art. Look at all those details - the color blend, the bumps! Love the viewmaster windows as well.

Ohh , thats a nice one too.

The colors on that picture?? Real photos ( very sparse available ) show something else.

White over the cheatline and bare metal under the cheatline.

THAT part (lower) wil be the most difficult , lets see what I can do with that.

To be continued.

Cheers

You have a love story with this aircraft, and Leading Edge with you I supose...

Few images avaible. I would like to help more but It seems that almost any image of that livery is avaible. In some it seems to have the upper fuselaje in white, and the number in a white circle in the nose and the tail, but not in all.

I'm in total awe and envy at what Leen is capable of and completely appreciative of what he is doing.

He has done all these repaints at his own bequest. I have never asked him to make any of them.

Actually, after the first few, I asked him if he wants to texture all my future projects in a paid position. He said it was just a hobby and he wants to keep it that way.

Some hobby!

Thanks for your support guys.

White on top ,cheat in the middle and a bare*-belly. (* better said bare-ish )

It wasn`t that hard after all.

Its like catching a flea , you just have to know how to do it.

Cheers
