Well I think I am almost done with it. I was playing around with tail art but actually I think it looks best with the tail without anything. I changed the registration to N42TJ...I have been rereading Douglas Adams 'Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy' so thought I would get into the spirit of it with the famous number 42...the answer to 'life, the universe, and everything'. I was tempted to write "DON'T PANIC" in large letters under the wings but didn't http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/smile.png

I don't know how you would go about adding a bumper sticker to a warbird but I added a small one to the tail wheel door...its doesn't intrude on the paint scheme there but visible enough on the ground. http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/cool.png

Nice and funny paint, I really like the Star Trek ship on the gear-doors =)

I gave in to temptation...I did make a backup of the plain wings first tho...and will probably release it with plain wings. Anyone or Douglas Adams fans, I will send DON'T PANIC textures per request.

Drinking beer and eating peanuts to prepare for flight. I want "Don't Panic" textures! That would make me one hoopy frood.:applause:

If that bird came looking for me, I think I would panic!

The beer, peanuts and towels are in the first aid compartment...afterall those are important First Aid items :)

Uploaded...included alternate textures with the zip file.

DONT PANIC!

Man, I've been trying to wait a month or two before buying this bird due to other purchases. But you have pushed me over the edge here. The only thing I didn't see was the proper version of the autopilot aka, "Infinite Improbability Drive":icon_lol:

This is one cool paint job. I believe even Marvin would agree.
