Hello and welcome, let's see how we can help you.

First do you have Inkscape,GIMP or both? if you don't you can download them for free.
there's others out there people like to use like Photoshop but these two are the most known

This might seem overcomplicated but,

Install Gimp export the file from xfc to psd and open it in photoshop or get an xfc addon for photoshop.

good luck!

I use the paintkits for 737-100 but it the same paintkits for both aircraft. And it´s same problem on both 100 and 200.

No, it's not. There are some (small) differences between the -100 and -200. Just compare 737-100/Models/texture.png to 737-200/Models/texture.png and you'll see. But nothing as big that would explain your tail issue. Could you post your .png texture file?

I use this: I use the paintkits and create a white background and add the logotypes. Image.

And now compare this to Aircraft\737-100\Models\texture.png. Notice the difference in position of the tails for example? You've somehow managed to increase the size of your canvas. The paintkit itself is 1024x1024 pixels, your image is 1599x1259 pixels. Cut your texture back to 1024x1024 and you should be fine. ;-)

You scaled it, but you should CUT it. When you scale a texture, it's appearence on the model won't change (at least not in terms of where you see what pixels). When you add/remove pixels from it, the location of all the pixels does change.

Okay but it try again, but it´s any who know were i can find the paintkits for 200? On the website it´s only 100, 300 and 500-800. 200 and 400 it´s missing
