Martin, that T-28 paint is inaccurate. the top wing "NAVY" is upside down and facing the wrong way. The blue on the US roundel is also not dark enough. That could just be a tweak of the alpha channel though.
Seems to me when this repaint was released there was discussion about the orientation of the markings. Unless I am mistaken, the real aircraft upon which this paint was based also featured the inaccurate orientation.
This repaint originally started out as my take on a pink RAF Spitfire from WW2 that I've seen on the web, but that scheme really didn't really translate over to the larger Martin Mars. Sooooo, this is another take on the movie Operation Petticoat and the pink submarine.
Something a bit more relaxed for me Dave..

Seeing all these Spitfires, I thought I would have a go this morning and have realised how much I have missed the RealAir Spitfires. I'm more of a Hurricane man myself, but have enjoyed these models in the past and again today. Took off from Plymouth (nine miles over the border!) and went and visited a few airfields in Devon. No need for a map as fly the area often in real life, but on the odd occasion today, got a little stumped when unsure of my position (over Dartmoor, where you don't go as most of it is used by the military).
First stop was to Harrowbeer a few miles North of Plymouth, which used to be a WW2 Fighter airfield primarily with Spitfires and Typhoons and then with Air Sea Rescue Walrus. Closed at the end of the war, it was to become the postwar Plymouth Airport, but due to local complaintees this remained at Roborough, now closed. Last week, I walked at Harrowbeer and its amazing how much of it is still there, including all the revetments.
Then off over Dartmoor passing Taw Mill, above the aileron. Two strips can be seen, the runway being the one to the right heading almost at the top of the screen. This is about 600yds long and is uphill so is normally one way in and one out. Interesting to say the least......
Then off to Eggesford. Famous for being home to a lot of Austers. Also based here is the sole surviving Chrislea SkyJeep and the world's only two seat Luton Minor, the Phoenix Duet (its a bit of a squeeze). Scenery for this has been created by Matt Wynn and is still in it's test stage. One of the few FSX airfields that has sloping runways.
And then finally Westacott Farm, a 200 yard strip visible here one field up from the road running left to right above the wingtip. This is home to two Cubs a Super and a L-4H. Again one way in and one way out rounding out over the road and adjacent field, before running up the hill to the hangar.
And then back to Plymouth for tea and medals.
Cheers,
Martin
Hello Martin
You and I don't live far apart. Which photo scenery is that? I have Horizon and MSE. Each have their own quirks, some MUCH worse than others. Can never decide which to use;-)
