Chasen's "(almost) better than nothing" paints

[chasensfo]

Here is all but 1 of the Air Philippines 1998 YS-11 fleet. Miguel Ceballos is working on the rest of the Air Philippines fleet, including the 1 YS-11 to wear the full colors of the airline in the 1990s.

Can't have 1998 Manila without a bunch of bastard YS-11s! The Philippines, like much of Asia, was in an economic crisis, and Philippine Airlines was near collapse. So for reasons of saving money and getting new planes into the air to muscle their way into Philippines Airline's all-but-suspended domestic network, it was more common for new additions to the fleets of smaller Filipino airlines in the late 1990s to wear hybrid liveries than their own colors.

These are all for the FSPX model, but I didn't have a paint kit and had to reverse engineer some of Ranmori Scythe's paints. I will re-do some of these when I have a real paint kit one day. Here is Aboitiz Air, a fly by night cargo airline that had all 6 YS-11As wearing a different livery in the late 1990s.

I'll have to catch up, I've painted a lot of stuff in the last several months that isn't in this thread. A few more are on the way, but for now, here is an Africa pack to go along with my updated 1998 Harare(HRE\FVHA) and fill it up:

FMAI BAe-146-100:



A2-ABD as it looked from 1990-1997 flying for Air Botswana. Not active in 1998, but can be used in earlier 1990s plans. Returned to the carrier later in a new livery.

A2-ABD as it looked leased out to Air Zimbabwe in 1998 as well as Zimbabwe Express Airlines from late 1998-1999.

FMAI BAe-146-200:



Z-WPD as it looked in the 1990s, doing domestic hops around Zimbabwe mostly.

Here are some planes that were missing screenshots in this thread painted weeks, months, or years ago lol. Links are in the first post. More to come later, and I will eventually go back and fix some of these older ones with jagged lines or titles cut off:

Just a very quick question is the “Atlanta Hawks” typeset meant to be backwards on the tail of the 2nd last one? Asking for a friend 😝

Great set of repaints,

Nope, those were made years ago when I cared less, if you flip it in photoshop, feel free to share it, otherwise I'll fix them all eventually but not a high priority as I'm focused on 1998\99 with my Flightsim time. Lots of errors on Viscount Air as I just quickly made them for my own sim all in 1 day when I was building up the mid 1990s.

Big thanks to cgold for these ones. I had started the Aero Zambia 737 repaint, but struggled to find a good logo to use in the right colors and shelved the project for over 1 year. He sent me the logos AND the 707-300 he had started. So I used his tail logo for my 737s, and for the 707, he did it all and I just added the fuselage titles and registration. Since one of the Aero Zambia 737s operated by Interair of South Africa in late 1998 thru 1999 in the full Aero Zambia colors, I also made that version. I will do the 727-100 and DHC-6 later.

Awesome repaints. Just one small detail was amis. When the SCD was developed for the 727, Boeing added smaller cabin windows to the side of the cargo door, while Douglas left a gap. It's merely noticeable but there.

Kind regards.

Thanks, do you mean on the 737? Interesting FAIB didn't just put that in the Combi paint kit, special Combi windows I mean. I deleted the .psd files for those 737s so if someone else wants to take the time to make the windows smaller on the door, go ahead lol.

A few more African goodies. There are AIA paints for the standard Cameroon and Air Malawi 733s, I do not plan to do those so I encourage someone else to lol. The African birds will all be seen at HRE during the week.

737-300 FAIB:



Cameroon Airlines YU-ANL leased from JAT in the late 1990s.

Air Malawi PH-OZA leased from Air Holland in 1998, original Air Holland paint by Eduardo.

ATR42-320 OSP:





Air Botswana 1998 fleet minus the Air Littoral hybrid, as the Air Littoral livery is far too complex for me LOL. Sadly, all 3 ATR42-320s were destroyed in a suicide attack by a pilot suffering from a mental health crisis who hijacked one of the ATR42s and crashed into the other 2 parked on the ramp below. NOTE: I wasn't able to get the nose cone to match up the stripes, if anyone wants to fix it, feel free and please share it here.

Zambia Airways missing ATR repaint. Again, I can't figure out how to connect stripes on the nose cone for the life of me. Anybody is welcome to fix it.

And now for a few older paints that I hadn't shared screenshots of, links to these in the first post:

737-300 FAIB:



Canarias Regional Air's very short lived 737-300 leased from Air Holland, flown during the summer of 1998 only. Original by Eduardo.



Air Madeira in ex-AB Airlines colors, original by APG Designs, I think commissioned by cgold.



JAT no titles, modification of Impulse AI's livery.


BAe ATP PAI:





Canarias Regional Air 1998 missing fleet variants


DC-9-30 AIA:



JAT no titles, can be used for Tuninter for now as well, modification of Impulse AI's livery.

Yes, it's about the main deck side cargo door. Here you are:

The first is a closeup to the main deck cargo door. The second the article it's in. Very interesting by the way.

Kind regards.

Interesting info, I had never noticed. However, it is such a small difference that I can still barely tell LOL. If it was significantly different, I'd probably do it, but since it is barely noticeable and FAIB didn't care enough to change the window size when selecting the combi variant in their paintkit, I don't want to go back and re-do all my combis lol. Again, feel free to, and share them here and then I will update the textures for everyone. I don't mind if you modify any of my paints to make them better, go right ahead, no need to ask first.

[sunking]

As said, just a small note. Maybe it's useful for future reference. Anyhow, thanks for taking note on it.

Kind regards.
