Douglas C-117D Skytrooper paint kit delivers layered Photoshop master templates for creating crisp, high-resolution repaints on the Super DC-3 model in FSX, including a 4096x2048 fuselage base and a generic alpha provided separately.

This paintkit contains basic Photoshop (psd) master templates for the FSX Super DC-3 model. By Manfred Jahn.

Alpha layer of the paint kit.

To facilitate fuselage painting begin by editing C117_12.psd, which has a 4096 x 2048 page size.

I have included a generic alpha as a separate HQ JPG file. Paste into C117_12.psd as a new layer and modify as needed.

When finished save two copies called C117_1.psd and C117_2.psd respectively. Crop these two files down to the left and right fuselage half, using the special "Select" layer provided.

Good luck. I look forward to seeing your repaints.
