OMG! That is AMAZING. I am TOTALLY PSYCHED!!

For everyone wanting to see the original club airplane he's doing:

Oh, and that gawd awful pea green interior:

AND, my wife found a pic she took of me in it, and the seat sides and back are the same pea green, the cloth is green also. ACTUALLY, (edit here) the darker side covering is the correct color. Where the trim wheel is was affected by the flash.

Your wing tips are different, but I like them better!

I was only referencing the other picture with the wingtips, never went back to the other one :oops: if you like them, then they shall stay, still have a couple of stripes being stubborn, but the exterior is for the most part done, playing around with the interior now....... :twisted:

Nice paint.

Is the green interior to easier deal with sick passengers? :twisted:

And the Sour Cream and Salsa :twisted: Thanks, still tinkering with that interior though, actually found a post 90's 172 with a similar color interior, so I think I know how to proceed with it as a back up....trying retro first, and if it kicks my butt, then modern in those colors :D

OK, OK, OK. You can stop now taildraggin68. I have so many of your and other paints it takes 10min to load the list of A2A aircraft I have. BTW that's on an SSD. Good job, I like it! I have it now! :D
