Just so I'm clear, you use the paths in the original file as a starting point, and come up with your own textures from scratch? I mean, you aren't just recoloring the original textures, are you?
As for the paths, I'm still not seeing them. Maybe someone can provide a SVG file or something with them? GIMP can open Photoshop files too, but I'm not sure how much info will convert.
You've got a nice looking air wing going there!
