I am thinking of trying to do a paint of the warhawk i posted the picts of....One question about useing the paint....Well ok two questions......Can i take the teeth from the pictures and add to the new texture i craete, or does this also need to be painted as well....
I ask because these teeth are perfect to me, in the shape and distance to the wings. Plus they make the warhawk look mean and hungery....
This is the main area i want to try working on for now....Something easy to start with......

I'm giving the paintkit a whirl for the first time, and read in the instructions that I need to break down the textures into 5 separate ones as well as the corresponding specular textures. What is the correct way in doing this? And what do I do with the other files besides the P40B_Full in the painkit? I am using Photoshop. Thanks in advance and sorry for such basic questions about this all!

I got the paintkit cut up into the 5 textures by cropping up the Full and Full_Spec files. I have gotten my painting into FSX so it is a start at least. However, I don't know what I should do with the full_alpha and the full_spec_alpha files?

I have come across some posts by Martin (ICDP) about repainting with the P-47 paintkit which is structured similar to the P-40:

Seems to answer most of my questions about this one and so if anyone has similar questions about repainting, take a look in that post. Very informative.

I must be the exception to the rule....I can barely get it to open, and when i get the work finished it disapears into cyberspace....
Their is a shark mouth monster out their somewhere.....LURKING.....Waiting for that unsuspecting surfer to come along.....
