How can you make a .psd "master" paint thing? The thing you use to paint the fuselage, it is one whole side of the aircraft. Like the one that comes with the POSY 777 or 737. I not exactly sure what to call it. Any help is appreciated.

I know, but not all paint kits come with the file I am looking for. I fully understand how to paint and what a paint kit is. Most paint kits have just a .bmp with the sides and sometimes I find it difficult to match everything up. That is why I want to fuse them all together to make one big side to repaint then cut it back out.

if its a PAINTKIT, it does. If its BLANK TEXTURES then it clearly does not have a paintkit. why is this so confusing?

also, if you want a paintkit so bad and cant find anything but blank textures, why don't you make sense of the situation and create your own, really they aren't hard to make with the slightest ammount of PS skill.

Maybe some screenshots would help show what I mean.

I want to make one of these:

out of the standard blank textures that most paint kits come with.  Of course I want to make one for a different aircraft.

You need to create a big document, then copy the fuse/engines from the bmps onto a psd then you need to extract details e.g. windows doors etc onto new layers
