I've lived in North Dakota, South Korea, and Colorado in various times in my life, so I am well-acquainted with a routine cold snowy winter, as well as what I term "stupid cold."

So.... I am uploading something right now, when it posts to AVSIM, I will reveal it, and I guarantee you all will love it. I have the opportunity to paint an AI retro aircraft that nobody has done yet unless it is tucked away in somebody's Dropbox. The hints are it is from a large mainstream airline that I have done quite a bit of work with recently, and that it is the first true painting for a new model set (to me). That's all I will reveal for now.  |

Okay, they're off and running...... available at AVSIM: British Airways 767-300 Landor package library.avsim.net/download.php?DLID=209209British Airways 767-200 Landor package library.avsim.net/download.php?DLID=209208I accidentally stumbled across the 762s on a general internet search for something else, I wasn't even looking for them. BA code-shared three USAir 762s in the early 90s, and while they were US-serialed they were in full BA Landor livery. I haven't found these anywhere in the usual sources from any other authors, so I might have been the first. The "World's Biggest Offer" sticker isn't quite accurate, I used stock clipart images off of the internet for it, but it is the spirit of having the sticker. For non-painters, trying to blow up a 25 x 100-pixel section of a 1024-pixel photo to be crisp on a paint kit with a resolution of 4096 x 4096 simply isn't going to happen unless you hand-draw it (have fun with the Eiffel Tower, lol). I obviously had a little 767 breakthrough last night, and I am finishing up the original Lufthansa package I started trying to learn technique on, then back to the 747 list to finish up what I have on the schedule. |

I can’t remember if I’ve seen the BA 767s with US regs or USAir 767s with BA regs but I know I’ve seen one of the two. Regardless, these look downright amazing! Now just a couple FAIB 737s and A320s from you in BAW colors and that’s practically the entire fleet minus regional props/jets and the 1-11.

I actually have pix of all three serials of the 762s, they are N652US, N654US, and N655US in BA Landor, available on A-net, and listed under BA's fleet inventory on www.planespotters.net as well. Lufthansa 767s are uploaded and should post tomorrow some time, and I also uploaded Malaysia Airlines 747-400, with a little service pack included to address the reversed serials on the 80s 742/743 MAS paints I did. I just finshed serials for KLM and KLM Asia 744s, and will correct the big KLM 742/743 issue tomorrow and put all of that out. I'm saving the BAW 741/742 re-boot until last, but definitely sometime this next week. |

Hi Mike, the BA retro paints on JB’s site are actually done by Marx Hungerbuehler - he’s on this site as MH88. He told me in a pm that he was going to work on the 767/747s but was delaying it until Feb/March. |

Yeah, as I suspected the BA/USA 762s HAVE been done before, for the AIM 762, by our good friend Eduardo Villanueva. That said, retiring the AIM jets in favor of the FAIB jets is much appreciated, great work with these beauties, Mikey.

Thank u Mike for all those lately released paints and service packs.
I really like the Lufthansa Boeing 767 leased from Condor in the mid 1990's.
I will post some flightplans on Lufthansa's last try to keep Sydney in their network.
There is one thing that is confusing me with those MAS 744 paints.
when I look up rzjets.net I see that all their combi aircraft were GE engine equipped.
while the other later frames with registration 9M-MP* were all PW engine equipped.
My question: would they have been reequipped with PW engines later to stadardise their 744 fleet?

Alex Okay, this is getting stupid, I obviously can't tell the diff between a GE and PW engine on a 744. I can't seem to paint anything right this month. All four aircraft I painted were delivered with GE engines, so now I have to figure out a way to slink out of this one. I'm only disgusted with myself, not the input, because so far I have been 99.9% wrong on all received feedback. I have spent about eight hours today wrestling with the BAW re-boot, and the 741 just got uploaded to AVSIM, the 742s in about an hour, and I can't wait to find out how bollicked up they might be. I enjoy learning as I go, so this is not a rant on any of the input of forum members, I sincerely welcome it. I am just a little frustrated that I have made so many mis-steps in such a short time, and this is not like my usual velocity-driven painting. I'll cool down and figure it out. Alex, thanks for setting me straight, I just read it at the wrong time, that's all. Also, those two SA-tail DLH 767s have been to my hometown (PHX) back in the 90s a few times (flightplan hint hint).  >>>>> |

All good now, popping off is okay once in awhile as long as you don't target individuals, which was never the problem here..... I never forget that regardless of perception, the input I receive here I treat as support from all to make the hobby better for all. The only person I am authorized to be grumpy with is myself, occasionally, lol. Moving on, all of the BAW is uploaded again, and I will sort out KLM with a fresh head and eyes in the next few days. |
