... I like it.

If I could own a real one, I'd probably paint it in a Fury or Gladiator type theme - so I see where Rick's going with this - I say "very clever and cool".

I'm loosely basing it on a WWI scheme...which had it as depicted here...however I'm not an expert on WWI, or even an amateur of this era of aircraft...

Looks great, but I can't help but picture him leading a squadron of spitfires into battle with the other pilots laughing their butts off, just saying. :bump:

Added some weathering...the Roundels on the wings...changed the yellow out for light grey, and finally added the khaki underwings...
