Carenado ATR42-500 interCaribbean Repaint

After All this "stinkin" work and headaches I go to the registration only to find that THW is the ATR72-500 so it has just been changed to THM --- Captain Hugo M. and I may not look at this again until sometime next week when I fly it for the first time and I will post a screenshot of it then.
 
I have created three repaints for myself for the Carenado ATR42-500 for interCaribbean. You can see that the large interCaribbean just doesn't align perfectly no matter what. It looks great in Photoshop on the parts but then...oh well, I am happy they turned out as well as they did. Here is a screenshot of VQ-THM "Captain Hugo M." at TBPB Airport.

Today, I was able to complete the "Spirit Of Grenada" ATR42-500 of interCaribbean Airways. It was a challenge to get the pieces of the tail to line up but after only an hour I figured out how to do it and it worked. The fuselage is the same as the regular repaints except for the tailcone part which is red of the flag of Grenada instead of the yellow and blue. All in all I am not disappointed with it. The airport is a freeware TGPY Maurice Bishop International and is really nice with animated figures on the ramp. You can see here on the left side how the "inter" is contoured onto the nose. It's just the way it is so I am going to fly it anyway and have fun. The other repaints I saw online all have the airline name even with the lower edge of the cockpit windows but that is not where it is on the real plane. It is above the cargo door not across the middle of it. I only have the "Spirit of St Kitts and Nevis" left with their flag on the tail. But, that's enough for today!

I have found everything I need for the Caribbean online and free so probably not, sorry. There is only one that I am going to buy next month that is only $12.89 for our main hub: MBPY Providenciales. I was considering MSFS 2020 which is on sale but every time I do I hear of problems so I'm sticking with Prepar3D V4.5. Their scenery is just soooo fantastic it was tempting but that is what it was, temptation for money I don't need to spend.

Final Approach Simulations marketed by SimMarket one of my favorite vendors. It was created in 2022 so it is very up to date. I used Tropicalsim in FS9 and FSX in the past and they are nice scenery too but sometimes I found out of date. No specific example right now. All of the payware scenery you have to review and check before you buy it. SimMarket says when a scenery was made available (created) and TropicalSim MBPV is 2015. If there were no changes at the airport since then, it's no problem, but I found with Naples Florida I did and shared here that all of the freeware AND payware versions with the exception of MSFS 2020 were out of date. That is why I spent the time updating it for myself and to share.
