Hi all,
I've been working on an Australian National GM. This is a typical GM of the 1980's before modificatons such as MU connections, covers over the fans, extra marker lights, etc... were added. I'll do that version later 
BTW, this skin is suprisingly difficult. MSTS doesn't seem to like the AN shade of green on Alpha textures so it is very difficult to get the details to look good. The two parallel lines also distort easily on the cowcatcher and I still have to fix this up.

Hi James
It looks pretty good to me
I know what you mean about the stripes on the front plough, I had the same problem on my CL's (on Yuri's site).
The green is hard to get even all over the body. A month ago or so I repainted a e8 in AN green as a GM. I tried to give it a green roof and even though the colour was exactly the same it looked totally different once on the model.
As I said your model looks great, keep up the good work.
Regards
Graeme Smith

I shifted the colour balance to take some of the yellow out of the green, I've also been doing other small adjustments.
After all, I am a perfectionist.

The model is almost the same, I've just modified some parts so the AN textures look better.
