Tradewind Forums

Very much a work in progress...
Using logo and stuff taken from the website, for lack of high resolution source material.

Nice work JW... Awesome detail.

thanks. We really need more XP12 liveries, but nobody is making any so thought I'd give it a go. First attempt in 20 years, give or take...

Thanks for your effort Jeroen.

Well, I used the wrong account...

simplified but useable. Can zip it up if people want to have it, it's for the FlightFactor A320.

Hi Jeroen and all.

I also started painting myself. This is the result of my third try with the main fuselage. The main fuselage in the paintkit is divided into three sections. After it is painted, it needs to be cut out. All went well until I did cut the third part (tail section) out. I still had it cut out and I was doing other stuff and as I came back to the computer I saved the file. This resulted in killing the main file and I had to start from scratch. But as a result I did put both sides exactly together so there is no misalignment visible. I also did edit the Caribbean Scene to a darker blue sky for some easier painting.
I don't know how long it took to paint it all new, but I think it was some 4 -5 hours? Earlier tries took much longer, though.

As of now the files are replaced to an Alaska Airlines B737-800, hence the Alaska stuff on other parts of the aircraft

Unfortunately adding (uploading) the pictures to the forum directly, or adding them by inserting pictures doesn't work. So unfortunately you have to click on every link to see the pictures as of now. I think Carsten has to fix the forum first...
Nonetheless, I hope you all like it, though

Now that's a mighty fine job Christian, keep up the good work.
I like the combination Caribbean with the Alaska tail.

yes, the forum only allows externally hosted images.
Looked at the paintkit, sadly it's in PSP format which I can't use.

I am so far done with six aircraft repaints for the (PMDG) B737-800. Two aircraft already exist for at least P3D: Tradewind Caribbean PJ-GCH (featured below) and Tradewind European PH-TEB. The other aircraft will be TCA PJ-GCM in SSW configuration and TCE PH-TEC also in SSW configuration. And then for TAA N73801 BW and N73804 SSW.

But now to a few pictures that I took on a recent test flight from La Romana to Curaçao.


















I will upload the files on September 1st with the regular update. I have started to work on a cargo version of the -800 as of now.
