Nearly there, but I'll give it a day or two before I upload it to make sure all the bugs are out.

Not my type off plane but sure as going to keep the GA fans bloody happy , Superb paint AZ

The reference shot I have of this one is a little redder - perhaps go 25 points toward red in the cyan/red channel?



Might just be a combination of monitor/graphics card on both ends...
I've painted enough of the NZ Cessnas to know it can be a PITA to colourmatch, let alone get that backward font to fit all along the fuselage!

It's a pretty paint, I'd easily plaster it on the Carenado and fly along happily, if you chose not to do anything more.

Thanks Charl. My pics that I got of Jetphotos showed it darker, but they may have been on overcast days. Getting the exact colour is the thing I find most difficult - I use the "colour picker" on the original photos, but when you apply that colour to a "multiply" layer in the repaint the background layer on a Carenado paint kit darkens it, so from there you've pretty much got to eyeball it. That's why I like paint kits like the Dreamfleet ones, because you can add the colour as a solid layer and then apply the rivits/panel lines/details etc over the top. Anyway, I had another go at it, see what you think.

Looks pretty good, you might check that rego on the fuselage, is it a little longer and slightly shorter perhaps?
I'm armchair picking since you asked, as I said it's really good to go.

Always happy to help with a new arrival, thanks for bringing this one to Auckland.



Weather is a little iffy this morning, but the Caranado experience makes up for that...

In case you care - US standard is 12 inches high by 2 inches wide. Looking good.
