This paintkit contains Photoshop (psd) master templates for creating
L-749 liveries suitable for the FS9 L749 project at
calclassic.proboards55.com. The files were converted from original Xara
and Paint Shop Pro files. I do not own Photoshop, so all I can do is
hope they will work out OK for you.
The fuselage texture sheet will apply to both long-nosed and short-
nosed versions (note the separate nose cone patch on the fuselage
texture sheet). The metal shading of the fuselage has been kept
intentionally low contrast in order to provide a suitable point of
departure for both natural metal and painted surfaces. Try manipulating
brightness, contrast, and alpha channel for individual effect.
To help painting the fuselage a full-size fuselage template has been
included. The idea is that you create difficult cheat lines etc. using
this file for guidance, then import the result into the 1024 fuse_t
sheet. Use the red alignment markers in both files to ensure that the
fuselage halves split up correctly in the final 1024 texture sheet.
Note that in the fins texture template you have two BG layers, one for
2-stack engines and one for jetstack engines.
Good luck. I look forward to seeing your repaints. Feel free to post
screenshots of your work over at calclassic.proboards55.com.
