P3D/P4D screenshots redux...oops!

I decided to resurrect my GAS Boeing Super Stearman to fly tomorrow at CIXVFR of which I am a member but have not been able to coordinate the time difference until they now fly on Tuesdays at 1700Z which is 1300 EDT for me and the time available. There is a nice flightplan of an hour and a half or so. Just long enough for an "ol' timer" who can't sit for long spells anymore. Not like I used to fly 8 hours from Bannikbourn to Berlin and back in my B-17G. Anyway, I Googled British Stearman registrations and came up with a really cool website: AeroSuperbatics Wingwalkers a real daredevil site in Great Britain. One of their skins I thought I remembered from the GAS download and sure enough, once upon a time it was The Flying Circus now their aircraft formerN7001. I got excited and recreated it with help of the GAS paintkit and the Flying Circus texture to come up with this from the online photos. I also modified the pilots from cloth helmets and WWII flight jackets/uniforms to "bone domes" and NOMEX. You can see the join mark because I can't get them isolated in MDCx to do anything with the models. I am pleased they didn't come out too bad. Here is a screenshot of it on the runway.
