As great as MilViz addons are, unfortunately the paint kits are a royal PITA. I really hope that you guys improve your paint kit layouts in the future. It's a shame to have such top notch aircraft addons but very few livery choices. Even skilled painters refuse to touch your paint kits, which is saying something.

Does anyone know why you can't paint the polished prop spinners on the P38 or is the polish modeled into the model file?? Nothing is working.
Chrome for B737 200

Howdy!
Can anyone please tell me if the B737 model was designed with chrome to be used on the intakes/exhaust and/or on the leading edges? I have had some requests for paint schemes that are for private liveries, however a number of them use chrome. I have yet to be able to get this to work in the current model, as I suspect it was not enabled. Thanks in advance,

Well…they aren't as simple as a few out there that have "Paint Here" layers…you have to understand how to use PS masking…and…yeah, as is, they are a bit of a pain. I've only started to work wit the DH-2…all of the liveries that come with the package are "locked down" - a "non-editable adjustment" set/layer …Perhaps if I had full PhotoShop instead of PhotoShop elements I could work it? Hmm…$240 a year for a repaint or two…and still don't know if it would work…probably not.
However, if I open the psd file in something like Pixelmator (yeah, I'm a Mac guy), I can "get to" all the layers in a set, the which is nice if you just want to change a registration number…but I digress…my point is that I can see how the psd is built…its pretty simple…you have all the different layers - "decals" text flags and all the way at the bottom, the base color layer.
Is it possible to include a blank, editable set that can be opened in PS Essentials?
The work around is to take one of the already built sets, duplicate and then simplify it - then go erase all the stuff …then start painting…as was mentioned…a bit of a pain.

If the paint kits were saved in TIFF format, would that be easier?

The Milviz Paint kits are complex kits (and there is a reason for that, as the models are very detailed). I will strongly recomment using a full version of Adobe Photoshop when working on the layered files. I am a Mac guy too and I have been working with Adobe software for almost 30 years now. I am not quite familiar with Pixelmator or PS Essentials, but it seems to me that these applications have limitations compared to the full version of Adobe PS.
A lot of Photoshop filters and effects are used by the different layers. I am not sure if Pixelmator or PS Essentials can handle all of these.
