17 August 2021 Independence Day Special! Indian Airlines Livery Pack for MD-11 After completing my first livery, I became encouraged to make more, as it was a very fun experience and I had learnt how to use GIMP. I was thinking about what livery might look nice on the MD-11 when I thought of Indian Airlines. I’ve always loved the paint scheme of their livery - simple but beautiful. Their logo also caught my eye as well. During the course of the project, I learnt several new skills in GIMP. For instance, I figured out how to use the paint brush tool correctly. This gave the tail of the aircraft a “shiny” look, since every pixel was covered with the characteristic red color. Also, this was the first time that I did a little nose work. It was a challenge to get the the black paint to be perfectly symmetrical, with respect to the nose section of the aircraft. Here are some screenshots during the development phase: After a lot of work, the project reached its finished state. Here are some screenshots of the final product: Since I was making an Indian Airlines livery, I thought it might have been appropriate to release it on the diamond jubilee of Indian Independence. If you’d like, here is a link to the black nose livery, and a link to the normal livery. Subscribe to CaptMD-11 Get the latest posts delivered right to your inbox Subscribe
