To all, I am just not a big forum guy, but I have been heavily involved in retro AI, albeit in the shadows, for about half of the 15 years I have been repainting and modeling. I actually have been registered on this forum for some time, but forgot about it (oops). Anyways, here is my first thread, about current projects releated to RAI. I work mostly on my own agenda to fill in gaps in the FS world, but I do work with one or two close colleagues I have been in contact with for several years. So, no offense, but please don't bury me with fleet requests, just trust that I turn out some unique stuff, and a lot of it when I have time. I am still in a career, with family, house, and dogs, so real life trumps the hobby every day and twice on Sundays. My sweet spot for RAI is from about 1975 to 1990, I don't do a lot of 90s work, and not too much modern work lately, just because there are 'way better repainters than I who take care of that. I also do full-flyable aircraft repaints, if anybody likes Thomas Ruth models (this year, lol). So, that's about me for the ones who haven't seem my unique view on life over at Military AI Works, where I am a staff contributor. Here are the fleet repaints I have uploaded this week to AVSIM. I upload almost exclusively to AVSIM (and AVSIMRus for my Russian work). All fleets are for 1981-1990, naturally.... Germania Euroberlin Aero Lloyd LTU/LTU Sud German Wings Merpati Nusantara Bouraq Sempati Mandala Plus a bunch of round-out paints for other fleets, go to AVSIM and check out the 60-odd files I have uploaded in the last two days.

I cannot thank you enough for your work, Mr. Pearson. Most of my AI world (certainly military-wise) is made up of your planes and paints.

I appreciate all the hard work you give to this hobby.

Dear Michael. I honestly wouldn't know, where my Flightsim would have been without your paints. Same for the motivation to populate the AI World with retro traffic. I am very thankfull and appreciate your efforts, as I do with other painters and planners. Thanks mate Kind regards. Stefan

Here are my first paints for the SBAI T-134 model set..... The Aviogenex paints are color-matched to Jason's 727 paint.

Thanks for the massive amount of paints you did so far, Mike!
I've done a few paints for Tom's 727 myself, but I never got around to put the old USAir colors on it. Is this livery somewhere on your list?

Nice work. Thanks for the Tu-134s. I look forward to adding them to my FS2004.

The newer scheme has been corrected, the belly was too light. I have also finished the prop aircraft (F27, F50, DHC-6), and should have these uploaded to AVSIM by the end of the weekend, along with some of the other things I have shown here, plus a couple of un-advertised surprises along the same theme.

On the MAS 744's, are the engines going wonky or is that just a preview thing? It looks like the engine paint is a bit off if you look where the pylons attach to the engines.

Is "wonky" a technical term.....? Anyways, I had PW paint on a GE model, that is fixed now as well......
