L-39 Albatros

[JMSmith]

and now i have found a photo of a similar bird,
i suggest you knock back the layer/layers you are using to weather/lighten/bleach by at least 50%

[JMSmith]

ok so i found the actual aircraft,

so knock back by 25%

Well, I just finished the Czech bird, but it seems my uploading quota is full so I can't upload any new pictures...

@John: I reduced the weathering a bit as per your comment. Not 25%, though.

@Peter: don't worry, I'll be doing every possible paint scheme and country.

Interesting how you can see where they put the covering tarp over the canopy and front nose section!

Gorgeous looking albatross! I especially like the glossy ones. May I ask how you make the panel lines? They look three dimensional but subtle at the same time.

Perhaps.

Thanks ChristopherC! The panel lines are simply black lines made with a 1 px brush. The opacity is lowered to about 20%. I then duplicate the layer, place it beneath the original layer, invert it (ie make the lines white) and nudge it one px down and one px right. This gives it a little depht.

HTH.
