Stunning liveries Nigel. You certainly captured the polished texture of those enormous
wing fairings. Excellent work.

Good heavens :isadizzy:
Nigel is covered head to toe in paint and can't seem to find the time to post his progress. So, hoping he does not mind, I will post a few shots. I think these were taken on the FSX side as I was testing there.

She certainly looks grand Milton. You and Nigel have created a beautiful airplane.

Many thanks for your kind support TuFun, much appreciated.:salute:
Lol. Many, many thanks Milton - it's pretty difficult posting from here in the bush on safari, covered in paint.
Mind? I am truly honoured Sir - beautiful shots.
Thanks a million Hurricane91, but without your constant encouragement and vital help in providing the essential photos, I for one would have been stumped. :salute:

Nigel .... you're having way too much fun with the 51
Can't wait to get it and try it out on the bush strips up in the northern wilderness
Pete.
G'day Pete,
I'm trying to wrap up my part of the show this week, so the fun will get shared around pretty soon.
