Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:
- Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
- Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
- Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
- Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
- Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
- Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.
Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.
By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Can I request a scheme? Our state police operates 2 and is the first law enforcement agency in the world to operate the 429 in 3 different roles (SAR, ABLE, HEMS). Here are sample pictures (not mine) of the Delaware State Police Bell 429 N1SP (Trooper 2) and N2SP (Trooper 4). I have all logos minus the Bell 429 logo on the tail and additional photos, I can do the proper model to go with the scheme(s). I would gladly appreciate this if possible

Hello everybody!
In return for this awesome repaint, I have something for both:
I did something for 429's pilot (civil versions); however I am the worst painter ever and clothes aren't my best "asset". So I made it flat;and hopefully I will get on it some shades or... something
Anyway... I hope you like it.

Looks good! Fun to see the Swedish Police helicopter as well! 
I noticed a few things, no major things but something that would make the project a little better in my opinion
Check out this picture, I noticed the gap between your avionics and the "glareshield" compared to the real. Yours have a bit too much of a gap
in my opinion. Also maybe the blueish color on yours is a little bit too light? Not sure!
Try to make the panel more "living" and not so "flat". It's not easy ofcourse, but there are lots of people here who are very good at this!
Except for this, it looks amazing!
P.s, this was not ment to be critic, just wanna give some feedback!

Hello Oscar
Telling the truth, since the very beginning I had no clue on how to model anything; I am still learning through the whole process and many things aren't as good as I believe they should. I have no measures and I modeled the whole cockpit and cabin just trusting my eyes; and they used to deceive me very often. I just wondering what do you mean by make the panel more living; I am not a good repainter either; I am sorry for that
On the other hand thanks for your kind words: no offence taken!
All the best,
Sergio.

I'm very impressed by the model, it looks great! So you have made huge success with this!
Maybe you have used this for example, if not, take a look
It's not 100% perfect ofc, but givs you the idea of the layout. Then I'd use something like the picture I posted before as a reference and make the final touch!
(I've never modeled a plane or any type of vehicle).By "more living" I mean.. try to make it look used! It's not easy, but in the end it will be worth it! There are tons of brusches and so on for Photoshop that you can use for example!
I what program do you model? In Blender you can bake real nice shadows and so on. That will remove the "plastic" feeling if you know what I mean?
I bet someone else got better ideas then me but, it's just a thought!

Sorry for not being updating this thread; main reason: Working with animations. I am super new in this area and my brain has 1/100 of Intel 4004's processing power...
No worries Sergio.
Now go get a double shot of espresso.... and get back to work immediately.
Cheers
