fun subject! All you need now is a forest fire. Can you drop fire retardant with this one, like you could with the FS-KBT Orion tankers?

Repaint-wise, might I make a few suggestions?
The '09' on the tail is too small
the registration needs to be further forward, and a bit larger I think
the antiglare panel has a rounded frontal edge
the bottom part of the fuselage and the engines and wings are bare aluminium I feel
the red stripe should wrap around the nose I think

The textures look a bit blurry, so maybe you need to save them without mipmaps?
Also, I would turn up the AA in your sim, or better, on your graphics card, to get rid of the jaggies.

It's the result of the bump maps or spec maps or both not being used currently - I assume they will be created and/or added once the base scheme is finished.

Looking good so far, Cirrus! These "working-warbirds" schemes are something I have had great interest in for a while now.
