Hi out there,
as the Twin Otter is in our hangar - does anybody has a ACH livery for the Aerosoft Twin Otter Extended?
Cheers Tom
 
Hi all,

I'm working on it :)
It's not complete yet!!

Because I'm learning repainting and I see some differences in other Air-Child repaints, I need your advice about:

  • 1. The size and position of the logos and text on the airplane
    2. Your overall opinion so far
Please be honest and tell me what I should change!

I still need to work on the windows, night lighting, reflections and so on.

Hereby a preview so far:

Happy flying ;)

Looks great, only thing I see that I would change maby not others is the name on the engine cover move a touch up and add exahust burn will look more real nothing is 100% clean in the real world
 
Hi it looks good. Maybe it would be more logical to place the long blue text beneath the cabin windows for a smaller plane. Like with this real-world example:

Is that the registration near the tail? I think it should be quite a bit bigger because it has to be readable from a distance. If the text is still in a separate layer it's a minute work.

You could consider making both a clean and a dirty version. Many repainters do that. Making realistic dirt is quite a challenge though.

I also do a lot of repainting. For me it really works to let things rest overnight. Then I look at it the next day and I immediately see what's good and what could be improved.
 
Hello all,

I'm sorry, but I had some computer problems and tomorrow I'll go on holiday for 3 weeks.
After that I will pickup the repaint as soon as possible.

Regards,
Jacob.

Hi, Jacob. It looks very good.
Night Lightning and reflections

Well, the white part of the plane will of course reflect/shine a little more than the blue part. Don't overdo it; most planes on a platform don't look like polished Ferraris. :lol:
Windows and doors

I hope your paint-kit comes with a door and window decorations layer? You could add a little dirt under windows and doors but don't overdo it.

I always love those little stripes on propeller tips, I always do them on scale models too!
