N5907C Work in progress and request for info

Post by mgr »

Hi,

Started on a repaint of the N5907C. Real classic factory scheme (please confirm) with classic colours, dark green and gold.

Realone:

First set up:

Any more pictures of the aircraft are more then welcome. Especially or the registration is on the wings (on top or/and below the wings). Also more picture of the
"Falcon" lines is appreciated. (For example on other aircraft)

Thx,

Marcel

The speed bird logo stripes are off the model 17 staggerwing, that should get you some good images 8)

I've been looking for a good classic (and classy!) paint. This fits the bill and then some! Looks great...looking forward to the release!

Hiya Guys,

Thanks for all the nice comments. Doing my best of repainting based on 1 single photo.

What do you guys think, is the dark green also metalic? (The gold is for sure).

Regards,

Marcel

While not as strong as the striping, I have to agree with Marius, it does appear to be metallic.

Best effort so far, as it pretends to be a classic factory scheme, i've included the registration on the wings like they did back then.

Note the screenshots are taken at angles and light were the metallic effect is at it's strongest.
