ATR-42 and ATR-72 from Murph's Models

[Knife]

Here's a photo of the complete kit prior to assembly. I forgot I had this photo on the old IPad.

The FedEx model is almost finished. I need to research whether it has a six bladed or four bladed prop.

Today I'm working on the repainted F-WWLY model, the DHL model, and the Mount Cook Airline model.

All the pix I found online show four-bladed props for the FedEx ATR-42s.

The pics I have show it as a 4 blader. I just forgot to modify the prop hub (the extra prop blades are for just in case)

I just put the black & white files for the ATR 42 & 72 up. I'm gonna expand the ongoing 737 repaint contest Mark 2 into a full blown repaint any model contest. More details in a bit after I figure them out.

Are those ATRs bitmap?

[murphyaa]

They are. Only way I know how to make them.

Okay. I'll try and learn bitmap repainting. I have Adobe Photoshop 7.0, is there a big difference between CS2?

[murphyaa]

Dunno really. All the basics are the same. Only some obscure functions might be different.

I don't see any problems with the DHL or FedEx versions. Everything lines and up and no blank panels. I would consider them ready for sale with no changes required. I will get photos as soon as the builds are complete. Looks like both of these planes have four bladed props so maybe just adjust the spinner markings and prop guide.
