Hello guys!  :P

I have been creating Iceland Express livery for PMDG 737-700, and now i'm stuck... I'm done with wings, engines, tail, registrations and connotation, but on the real world aircraft is black and orange lines laying from the tail all the way to the nose  as you can see on this picture, and the problem is i can't do it  :hrmm:   I have tried cut it from images and I have tried use the pen tool in photoshop. But it's hard to get it and i don't know witch is the correct size of it and how to locate it on the paint kit. It f.x. lay over 3 parts of the paint kit, "PMDG_Tail_T", and "pmdg_700_fuse_t" witch is split up to 4 parts, 2 for each side.

This is how it looks right now.

Few things first, "RN" on the tail is titled and is too big, the logo on the winglet is too big and there is also some text underneath it on the real thing. Wrong font is used for the registration.

And now to this part you need help, use the pen tool.

For the lines I would use a line tool. In paint.net you get two handles after drawing a line so that you can make it curved in shape.

There not lines they are curves hence you use the pen tool.

Yes, the Pen tool will come in handy here if you're using Photoshop. Google around for some tutorials and you'll be using it like a champ in no time.

That looks good to me! Nice work.

Keep working with photoshop, you'll get better and better. Internet tutorials help a lot!
