Gripen Template?

[mikeymead 17]

Now, I'm guessing I know the answer to this one already as I can't find it in the download section but I'll ask anyway.

 

Is there anywhere a template for the excellent Saab Gripen?

 

Many thanks.

Mikeymead.

One can always take the long way around, and create their. I've done this on a LOT of aircraft. Having gimp or photoshop, and being used to working in layers is a must. Create a new layer for the each of lines and rivets off the original skin bmp, then draw them in. Then another layer for the new paint job.

 

Depending on the size (and how many skin bmps there are), it usually takes me about a day to redraw all the panel and rivet lines and such. It's not really hard, but it's time consuming (read: eye-crossing --staring at all them lines)

 

hope that helps a little!

Thanks for the reply guys, I thought that was the case.

 

Looks like I'm in for a long job (not to mention a steep learning curve in my case and a lot of frustration)

 

Still, it will keep me out of trouble!

Yeh its a little tedious but making your own templates can be fun... Plus you can do it for odd aircraft...
