For my second ever paint I chose the Carenado Cessna 185. There aren't many UK repaints for this model, and none that I can see using this particular pattern. Carenado famously don't supply paintkits so this is a few of my own layers blended with the plain white textures to represent G-BDKC based in Perth, Scotland. It's definitely work in progress, but good grief this is fun!
Some pictures show her orange, others red, so I went for something in between. It was a real pig lining up the stripes over multiple texture sheets, lots of trial and error and still not quite there. The real one has stripes and a Cessna logo on the starboard wingtip but the way the tips are mapped won't let me do that. Anyway, it's taken ages but I'm really pleased with it so far
