Do you have higher resolution images of this? These are pretty small. Or is the 1-300 scale just making me think they're too small? Do I just print them at actual size?

Croden, and anyone else interested in recoloring these models:

I've found that Inkscape opens Bruno's files and keeps them in vector format. You can then adjust mismatched lines, recolor etc. and save directly to a pdf file while retaining the smaller file size. Some of the parts are 'grouped' but you just 'ungroup' them (select it then ctrl-shift-G) and then you can edit them. If memory serves the entire model pattern was grouped at first as well.

I used it to make some adjustments to the Embraer 170/175 I built recently (haven't tested the changes yet). The file got bigger, but mostly because I added all the parts to make two complete aircraft from one sheet. Even at nearly double the size it's still only about 390K.

As a side note, being in vector format means these files will scale up smoothly if you want to print them larger.

That's not good!

Hey Bruno do you think you can do this BMI a330? My recoloring skills are too limited for it.
I think I've asked so many people for this recolor...

funny thing is that I watched a video two days ago about the "revolution airfield" where they blew up three aircraft, one of which being "your" VC-10.

Anyway, keep trying.

Thanks, Steve, for sharing the information about Inkscape. Now nobody has an excuse NOT to recolor my models and share them with the community.

and don't forget to mention your name as "recolored by", otherwise people might think I did them all.
