Carenado - PA-28-181 Archer II Repaint request.

[si85h]

my uncle harry used to fly this type of plane, Piper PA-28-181 Archer II, in his flying club, Monmouth area flying club, in New Jersey. a few years ago, he passed away of a heart attack at a young age. I was wondering if there was anyone out there willing to make a repaint of the Payware Carenado - PA-28-181 Archer II add on for microsoft flight simulator X. It would mean a lot to my aunt and I to be able to fly my uncle's old plane in my flight simulator. here are some websites with the only pictures I could find of the aircraft. thanks a million to anyone willing to help. god bless.

Sorry that I haven't seen this sooner . If you are still interested you can post a reply here .
I made a repaint for a Dutch registered Archer II PH-LAG . It wouldn't be much trouble to change the reg .
For my email address download a recent repaint of mine at ( sorry for this ... ) AVSIM . Search for John Glanville .

first off, thank you so much for replying!!!!! I was hoping this day would come, and the wait was well worth it! I am still extremely interested in the repaint! I'm trying to get it to look as much like my uncle's aircraft as possible. (I think I posted pictures in the original post) thanks so much! can't wait to hear from you!

I'm just about to leave for work , will post a couple of screens later .As I stated before it's very similar to a paint I already made so only have to change a few things ( striping on the tail is higher ) . And the reg ofcourse !!

As promised a couple of screens , still looking for the correct font though .

this is amazing! I agree with your comment about the font, the two is where the only really noticeable difference is, but still it's incredible to see his plane as a flight sim model! i look forward to seeing it when it's done! thank you so much!

As always , when I can't find an exact font , then it has to be done by hand .
A couple of screens of the progress so far , showing the three variations .
Noticed on the MAFC site that the panel is black have changed this in the sim also .
Do you ( still ) have access to N268BG ? If so can you make photo's of the interior ? It is possible to change the colours of the seats and trim as well .
Carenado unfortunately make modifying the panel itself difficult ( I just paint them after all ) , so certain things can't be added / removed .

sadly, I do not have access to the aircraft. the exterior looks great! Went above and beyond all expectations. The interior should be fine as is.
