Re: NEW PAINT

Great paint scheme. I've come back to look at these photos a couple times and found something new I like about it every time.

Re: NEW PAINT

That is one of the best paint schemes I have seen in a long time.

Absolutely Classic!

Re: NEW PAINT

Looks good Kevin. Was this a tidy up or complete strip and repaint? Details on the process would be good.

Re: NEW PAINT

Looks great. Wondering about the N number being small - if you wanted to take the plane to Canada or Mexico, don't you need the larger numbers?
