Paint based on a Bonanza

While rummaging through some image files in my 'puter, I happened upon this pic of the Beech Bonanza.
(Would be nice if A2A were to make this plane. Just thinking out loud mind you)

Image

So I thought I would see how that paint scheme would work on the Comanche.

With tip tanks,

For the interior, I added a new main panel (no scratches or chips) with a wood grain center piece. Wood grained yoke. As my old bungee cord was fraying I
replaced it with a new one. Re-furbished the interior leather.

Image

Any thoughts, suggestions, would be appreciated.

George

That looks really nice, George. With such a modern paint scheme, how does it look with the composite prop fitted?


Cheers,
Mike

Thanks, guys.

Hey, Mike, the composite prop has a black hub.

I can't believe I missed this before posting the pics yesterday, but I forgot to give the cowl latches a coat of paint. :o

All better now.

I'm going to go over everything one last time to make sure I haven't miss anything else and then I'll add a link for the repaint.

Very clean, light and wispy design. Looks great on the Comanche.

First of all, thanks to everyone for the kind words. :D

Yesterday I posted the links to both the exterior and interior zip files, but shortly after I had done so I noticed that the texture for the cigarette lighter was gone. :shock:
For whatever reason I had inadvertently over-painted the lighter in the vc2 file. :?

I also noticed a small glitch with the exterior paint and that I also forgot to include a thumbnail picture when I created the zip file. :evil:
(It was a very bad day)

I believe all issues are now corrected so here are the download links.

The exterior:

A better view of the interior.

Thank you, George. I'm downloading now and will check it out tonight. Another winner, I'm sure and worth the difficulties you mention.


Cheers,
Mike
