A wireframe side and top view of an aircraft fuselage is shown, highlighting the cockpit area and internal structural lines.

This paintkit contains Photoshop (psd) master templates for creating L-749 liveries suitable for the L749 by Manfred Jahn and Team 749 (LOCKHEED749.ZIP).

Wireframe representation of Lockheed L-749 Constellation.

The fuselage texture sheet will apply to both long-nosed and short-nosed versions (note the separate nose cone patch on the fuselage texture sheet). The metal shading of the fuselage has been kept intentionally low contrast in order to provide a suitable point of departure for both natural metal and painted surfaces. Try manipulating brightness, contrast, and alpha channel for individual effect.

To help painting the fuselage a full-size fuselage template has been included. The idea is that you create difficult cheat lines etc. using this file for guidance, then import the result into the 1024 fuse_t sheet. Use the red alignment markers in both files to ensure that the fuselage halves split up correctly in the final 1024 texture sheet.

Note that in the fins texture template you have two BG layers, one for 2-stack engines and one for jetstack engines.
