Fictional paint scheme for the Warwick "Wozza" Carter Gee Bee Z and comes in both FSX and FS 2004 flavors. I just uploaded it to the library here and it's available for download now. I hope you like it.

Doing the same paint scheme for the Alabeo Gee Bee now. Might be a few days though as I'm having to do up a "paint kit" for it as I go. Had to do the same with the Wozza Gee Bee. The Alabeo one has much more eye candy to take advantage of. I just have to learn to fly the thing as if I try to fly it like I do the Wozza one, bad things happen.

Already have an idea for the next Gee Bee paint.
 
SHE's A KEEPER!!!!

Sorry to "mis-use" you thread like this Willy, but there must be a thristy Irishman around here who likes this.......







As I would like to release it for FS9 as well there are still some lines to draw, which are in the spec map for the FSX version.

Cheers,
Huub

Hey Willy weren't your ancestors from........... :biggrin-new:
 
I like it! When I was with the Belgian Navy, we called Guiness "Irish Motor Oil". Not meant in a derogatory way as we drank a lot of it!

Yep, this is gonna be a keeper!

I'm thinking that paint would look good on the Alabeo Gee Bee as well. I've got a few paints for it in the works now.
 
I've done the black/red paint a second time now, but for the Alabeo Gee Bee which I purchased a few weeks ago. I need to finish packaging it up for upload.

And here's a work in progress up for it's first in sim textures check

I don't know what I was thinking about when I painted the cockpit cover green. But I've fixed that already. Other than basic colors, I'm not sure yet which way I'll go with this one from there.

I've got a few more in mind. I'd like to do the black/white one from the movie "The Rocketeer", but I'm having trouble finding a good pic of the art on the cowling.

Coming along nicely, but still a lot to do...

That P&W logo is definitely gonna see a change. A bit overly large for my tastes.

You're welcome. I'm flying the Alabeo now, so I've got a few more paints in mind for it. The one after the green/cream one is going to be bit more modern in appearance.
 
And it's done, just have to package it up.

Again for the Alabeo Gee Bee.

I've got the colors picked for the next one, just trying to decide whether to go with another Gee Bee type scheme or go for something a bit more modern.

Thanks Ted! The last Gee Bee built was originally this green & red-orange (R-6H "Q.E.D." & sponsored by Lucky Strike cigarettes) and later painted a cream-white so I didn't stray too far off with it.
