That looks awesome! A real fun repaint. If I might suggest something though. Do you think you can do some of the green on the wheel pants too? Looks a little strange all in white with the green gear struts for me.

Thanks

Funny enough I also thought of it and tried it and does NOT look great, at least I was not convinced. I might consider drawing some green lines on the pants, or alternatively leave the struts white.

But hey, if you don't like the white pants, fly without them ;)

Oh I see. Well that probably why I'm not a designer :roll: :lol: I believe you that it doesn't look good. I'll fly it without wheel pant then. I like the green gear struts

I attempted to do this as a repaint a few times and they never seemed to work quite right. I know it's a 207, but I always thought it would look great on the 182http://www.airliners.net/photo/San-Juan ... on/2347806
