OK Freaks sorry I couldn't resist :YeaBaby: just in case you guys are bored with the stock white 600e canopy I have done a repaint with the new Red version.

Note It is not 100% perfect due to the way Phoenix have copped out mapping the image to the 3D Model (I dont know why they did this). It does not have a left and right side so It makes it impossible to do a proper replica but its the best you are going to get for now until I can find a way of getting into the 3D model.

If you want to use it back up the old BMP image first. This is usually located in :-
C:\Program Files\PhoenixRC\resources\objects\aircraft\helicop ters\Electric\trex600.BMP
Now overwrite it with the attached that is zipped up to reduce file size. Happy flying Freaks

Cheers

Great scheme Glenn. In original file, Phoenix have bad mapping too in Landing Skid image mapping, see heli from other side,...... so i couldn't resist too, here my sceme,....... airbrush version.

Nice, thanks :thumbup:
I know unfolding/mapping a 3D model can be a enormous and boring job sometimes (my other hobby, profession),
but looking at the details of the MiniTitan yesterday i saw some parts were a bit rushed like the tail fin, which is one of the easiest parts to map.... ;)
But still, just good enough for what's needed IMHO.
The modeling/mapping overall looks professional to me.

Now just need one with the align cf main and tail blades. ;)

Hi Raven,....

This one for you,.......... There is some bad mapping in rotor blade image, See,....

The tail blades mapping is from tip of main blade image, make so difficult to get some separated mapping for tail blade itself.

So this one best i can,..........leave all of tail blade image (colors) to all white,...........(like tip of main blade)

There is two thing to do,.. since you want to change the blade of Trex 600 e, not others heli, you got to:

1. Replace your ...\PhoenixRC\resources\objects\aircraft\helicopte rs\Electric\trex600\trex600.geo file
2. Add new file in your ...\PhoenixRC\resources\textures\aircraft\rotorBla de_00t.bmp file

I made some adjustment in geo file to load image of rotorBlade_00t.bmp (this main blade image file for Trex 600 e only)

Cheers.
