No I've never seen that paint before on the Wilco shar... that's why I knocked it up today from the paintkit... couple more I'm thinking of doing and then i will release them.

Outstanding Matt.
If you're inclined, know that they'd be much enjoyed. The GR3 got some nice repaint love, but the SHAR is a bit thin on repaints. Anything you do would be much appreciated.
800 probably had the nicest schemes, and even when they went low-vis, it still managed to look good.

899 was splendid too...

Jankees, I'm liking the looks of that repaint! The colors seem a bit off though. I believe the intention is to depict the "Temperate Sea" color scheme, as used in the Mediterranean, of Dark Slate Grey (topside greenish color) and Extra Dark Sea Grey (topside dark bluish-grey color), over Sky (lower-surface).
If you'd like, I put together these paint chips, taken from original WWII-era RAF paint/colour chips, for those particular markings (I included a few of the RAF medium-level blues, in-case the spinner is supposed to be blue - if not, it would of course be "extra dark sea grey" to match the rest of the camouflage scheme):
This is one of the most recent restorations (a Mk.V) to emerge painted in the original/authentic temperate sea colors:

Beautiful screenshots, Fishbed! The first shot is truly majestic (I'm going to have to fly that aircraft again, shortly!), and if I haven't said it before, thank you Jankees for that repaint, as it has been my go-to ever since you released it!
For fans of the Duxford-based Catalina "Miss Pick Up", this is a good Facebook page to follow: https://www.facebook.com/TheCatalinaSociety/
Up until 1998, the CAF Minnesota Wing flew one all the time, that used to fly over my childhood home every time it did fly, and it was a guaranteed sight every time I went to the local airport as it was too big to fit in any of the hangars (as such, it left a real impression on me). Sadly, it was severely damaged by a storm in '98, and it has been undergoing restoration ever since, now in the care of the Duluth Wing. Hopefully it will be flying again in another 3 years or so.
I don't know if anyone has ever done one, but I would love to see a repaint featuring the US Navy tri-color scheme for the Aerosoft PBY-5A or -6 (either variant with the retractable gear) - perhaps a repaint of the Military Aviation Museum's PBY-5A (one of the hundreds of repaints I would do if I had all the time to do so).

Technically these are P3D screens, but this thread seems to get a lot more traffic...

Yup.. the mapping on the hard points is equally poop. Note also the GU codes on the Adens mate (Gutersloh)
I've just taken 716 out and it still pains me

I'm beginning to see what you meant about the mapping on this model... I cant do the Lo Viz 801 Sq one I wanted to do with chequered rudder... mapping is all over the place. Have to make do with this one.

Perfect!!

Another Spitfire from me; Spitfire XVIe 4D-N from No 74 Sqn, early 1945. It has the standard 2nd TAF decals as black spinner and C1 roundel on the wings. It might also have had this on the underside. Individual code letter on black shield on the nose.
The clipped wing Realair IX is a rather close match for the XVIe, the only major external difference is the armament, as the XVI had .50 cals in the inner cannon bay and the 20mm in the outer (no wing .303). the clipped wings were seen on both the XVIs and IX during this phase of the war as they were mainly involved with fighter bomber operations.

A superb repaint there, Jens-Ole! Actually, for a split moment when I first saw the screenshots, I thought it was a new Mk.XVI model, until I noticed the pilot and read your description.

That is a beautiful Spit paint JK
Matt.. I'll let you have 716. There may be a couple more things I can do. Looking at the model yesterday, the intake fan didn't impress me much so I'll see if I can kill it off a bit

716 is looking good indeed, Dave! Yes, the fan texture always struck me as weird. But you guys are really making it better!
