thanks for all the help.  Now only if I could get this omniweb thing to work...it wont upload my pictures.  They are in the correct format. Oh, and up on your cowel, there is still a bit of blue that shows through on the top.

I manually put some seams back in on the cowl and on the top of the rudder.  Photoshop is hard to use, so untill I can mix the hue and saturation more, I'll just keep going pixel by pixel,lol.  I think this is starting to look more and more like "Big Beautiful Doll"  Ill checherboard my cowl and it will be pretty close.

My current plane skin is a little "grainy" on the outside when you zoom in close, so I will be redoing some of the "grainy" parts to make it higher-res.

I would have never of noticed that texture if you hadnt said anything,lol.  I still havnt got the nosecone down yet even after looking at your photo.  Did you just guess till you got it right?

it was trial and error till I got it right. I figured out alot about the nosecone-for example, I noticed maybe the bottom half of the nose texture was missing, so that meant  I needed to makemore of the texture toward the bottom (if you turn your head sideways and pictures the left part as the bottom, that is the skin texture for the pony)

WTF?? looks cool! Is the whole plane transparent or is there just no color at all, looks like you can see the tarmac right trough it.  Too bad we wont be able to use it in the game.

Hey pilot, got a question.  Is there any possible way the checkerboard the cowl with out it stretching and looking funny up top like by the spinner and in front of the canopy?  If you dont get what I am talking about, I will post a pic, just let me know.

Yes, I know what your talking about but I am not that sure.

My best guess would be to actually compress the the squares the top.

Allright, I will see if I can maybe try that.  This is what happens with more checkers.
