• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

Or an idiot. It has been a test of patience.
....Sorry to say this, but if I can not do a truly authentic rendition, I will not be releasing this paint.

Could you send a message to the photographer?

I have sent several emails to photographers throughout this re-creation. No responses as of yet.
......Kilo Delta has helped out a bit here. From his detective work I traced the website of the owner G-REAP. Problem is the website is just a picture with small bits of information, and a phone number. Of which to say I am not calling as I am in the U.S.A. Unless I (or someone) can trace an email I guess I will be the only one that can enjoy the repaint,

KD, Thanks. I responded to your PM.

Update: I found way to get in contact. Email sent. Now it's time for the waiting game.http://www.vansairforce.com/Community/archive/index.php?t-23006.html
 
WOOHOO....Problem solved!!

I found a new stash of pictures hidden deep within links. The bird strike stickers have been obtained. Amongst a few more other legible bits that are not visible on most pictures.

Now the paint is coming together:wiggle:


Now for the problem of reaching the owner.

Oops. Almost forgot. Thanks a lot for the help everyone :ernae:

WOOHOO!!! Contact with Mr. Howes was made minutes ago. He seems a nice gentlemen and more than willing to assist me in my ventures with all the resources I need. I will soon be finalizing G-REAP. Then I will re-create G-JAWZ, and finally G-HISS. And maybe one more of his Pitts aircraft that I wasn't aware of. :ernae:
