This one needed a partial gear leg and a completely exposed tire. And...it turns out there is ALL sorts of writing on that tire. With great help from Ryan Toews and Jim Long of J-Aircraft, I've got that writing in place.

...only you can see it at all in the final size!
I'll just have to take comfort in knowing it's there

This is a pretty interesting plane with a world class bad paint job

Re: I Surrender!

right you old sod,

lets have this done correctly, canopy framing should still be in the camouflage colours, underside and fuselage overpaint is white, and the surrender cross is bright green.

Re: I Surrender!

An interesting side note; The canopy was originally not painted, but then painted with the exception of the wind screen. It just depends on whether or not this is the ultimate version. That, and whether you've seen all the photos.

Re: I Surrender!

now that is really interesting,

the views from the other side show it camouflaged, i wonder if the only painted one side but that still leaves the green cross, at the moment it looks grey
