Ok, I'll try it.

It's coming along okay... I'm just having some trouble trying to find all of those little parts and pieces in the textures. I have tried the color key, but there are so many pieces. It just gets down right confusing.

Another trick I use is when I can't find something obscure is to take small rectangles from another paint job (BN or MRL) copy and paste it in various places until I find approximately where the mystery object and then start painting spots until I find the darn thing.

Yes, that is what I will have to do. Thank you for letting me know.

The F45 is not repaint friendly... Anyhow, I should be posting an update here soon.

I know I did the MRL one.

Do you remember doing the F45_Details texture? There are 20 or so parts in there just for the horn. Maybe more, and they are all over the place. I'm pushing through at least.

Unfortunately, I didn't get everything finished up for the update. I would like to try and at least finish the F45_Details texture when I post an update. Due to the high winds and chance of storms, I think I will go ahead and stop work on the repaint for tonight.

Finally an update! This ridiculously crazy, and thus not perfect, completion of the details texture puts me in a good place. I don't have that much left to do honestly. It will take time though.

As you can see, those little patches of color on the textures are actually parts that are very visible on the repaint. It was a whole lot of trouble trying to paint this texture.

Man, I know your pain.

Man, I know your pain.

Yes, and as a matter of fact, it keeps getting worse! The F45 has parts that use sections of other parts, and I have to choose which one gets the correct color. There are a lot of details that are being sacrificed so that one part doesn't look terrible.

Would anyone know where I can find the porthole? I looked through every texture and can't seem to find anything. All I do know is that I colored it yellow.

Again go grab one of the other paint jobs and start substituting rectangles of the map until you find the place. If you don't know what page it's in .xxx the pages until you see where it's at.

Yes, I will go ahead and try that.

Here is another update! I was able to get everything just about finished. As you can see, I even did the weathering on it. Aside from the few parts I need to find/paint, the Bluebonnet is just about finished.
