I scanned in the line drawing from the bluprint booklet into a program called Hi JackPro, converted the format to BMP then moved it to the windows paint program. Corrected afew line gliches then laid in the color. Worked well enough.The best I have seen was when they scanned a photo of the plane, in white base coat,then applied the color in Corel Draw.

The resulting printout looked like a photo of theplane after the paint job.-Bruce A.

I did get some results, but I have heard Corel is easier. If I were going to do it again, I would try that.

Of course, you could always xerox your three views and go buy the big box of crayons. Dave Munday That is precisely what I did in selecting the color pattern for my StitsPlaymate.

The resulting printout looked like a photo of the plane after the paint job.I wondered about building up a simple 3D model of the aircraft andfeeding it into a raytracer such as Persistence of Vision (POV). Thatshould give a much more photo-realistic view of the aircraft, and fromany angle. Probably take some effort to build up the model in the firstplace.Another possibility, for those with MS Flight Sim and Flight Shop, is touse those programs to design and preview a paint job. I believe somepeople have tried this with RV-6s (someone has already designed an RV-6aircraft for MSFS & FS).Frank.Mark Ambrose07.12.96 00:00.

Old fashioned, not high tech, but simple and quick.gil leiterMAPLEWOOD, MNAnother method, and the one I used, is to scan a three view drawing intoyour computer, then use something like Microsoft paint to render yourdrawings. Printed on a color printer, it's nicer than crayons and lowertech (read: cheaper) than the high priced draw software. (Plus it's easierto add missles and bombs and stuff - just for fun).:)Mark AmbroseMarylandHoward Jones08.12.96 00:00.
