Nice screenshots! And great to see that the RNZAF has managed to buy something resembling a light combat aircraft...lol I know they are not armed, but at least they look aggressive in that black scheme...
 
Ian, I would ride with you anytime, just don't "paint yourself into a corner". Looking forward to the "Connies"!
 
great shots and paint..but wouldnt black be hard to see by the masses at an airshow?..or am i missing the point?..........sorry.

I have that very thought , "something resembling a light combat aircraft" almost embarrassing, one ex-RNZAF now airline pilot and warbird owner said on the TV news media "New Zealand had become the scabs of the Pacific".

Better than our CT-4Es painted up like bumble bees but now the Red Checkers have been disbanded the Air Force are stumped for a new team display name - figured since the Blackbird as we all no is a little cheeky would be an ideal name for the team - saves them painting them Pink :biggrin-new: .... This is not a paint off mine, @ jmbiii this come with the IRIS Texan II open beta package :encouragement:
 
Understandable and agree. Getting in to much of a hurry will usually result in inferior work, yours does not fall in that catagory, thanks Don
