Here is the repaint that was requested of "obsession" I hope that this looks good enough to represent the real thing. I will be uploading it shortly.

[/URL]looking good!!
it seems you caught the painting bug???
careful with that...

OK, one remark: shouldn't the "obsession" have a black shadow?

You aren't kidding buddy, I haven't hardly flown at all since I started all of this. :monkies:

looks very good! me too did not fly at all last week. working on shangri La and the alignment of the checkers is more difficult than i thought. i now have it almost there, just need to do some tweaking of the checkers near the anti-glare panel which seems to be stretched a bit.

kind regards,

Meso

I can take care of that shadow under Obsession. One other that that I could not find that maybe you'll have is the names on the canopy.

How does this look for the shadow on the letters? Jankee's?

That's looking great! Here's a pic with the names on the canopy frame.

The first name at the front is Capt. Jeff Michael and the rear one looks like "Anna Michael"

Here's one to compare the shadow under "Obsession"

This last one shows a Rolls Royce decal under the cowling, how do you feel about adding that?

You're doing a great job! I wish I could paint like that :ernae:

I don't mind adding that stuff at all. I did already upload it so once it's up I'll post a fix for the Rolls Royce and names.
