The long wait is over, roughly one year since we released the 747-8 the entire 747 family is now complete with the release of the 747 classics and the 747SP. Over the coming days various additional paints will be made available at various AI paint websites such as FlyingCarpet75.com and JuergenBaumbusch.de.
For those of you who know how to use a brush you would be delighted to hear all of the 747 paint kits are now officially available for download. FAIB already has several new projects being worked on so keep an eye out at the usual places (and here) for previews and news.
On a more personal note I would like to thank everyone who participated in the beta and helped testing and painting, your help is very much appreciated.
