Hmmm
Looks like the darker red stripe is not as thick as it should be. Also I think it is the wrong shade. Check
www.rv8skinners.org for more info on the colors used on these but you cannot go by just one page, so try
www.helskinipaints.com. You need to buy Micheal Ullman's excellent "Van's Experimental Colours - 2000-2007" which I am told has paint chips. While expensive at $4500.00 per copy it is the only refernce you should use.
Also, its just not dirty enough. Gotta get mud on it. Smoke, stains, oil leaks, fuel over flows they didn't fly these birds in such a pristine condition. Ignore your pictures, they are obviously
wrong, you gotta add some wear and tear as well. Scuff up the canopy rail and wing roots.
Are you sure your panel lines are right? I think you are missing the oil itercooler hatch next to the turbine mixinator shaft access hatch on the right side. Definately missing a cap on the wing, refer to your picture. You are going to want to check your panel lines at
www.rvlines_stolenimagesfromb ooksbybadscans.ru Also I don't see a registration number. Note that the N104** series was only deployed on the western coast south of Santa Monica during 2002 to 2004. From 2004 to 2006 they were in Virginia and definately didn't have that paint scheme. They had the yellow surround on the after fusalage with white wingtips and a powder blue nose. No spiral. After that they were posted to Minneapolis St Paul, Minnesota and given twin engines and a G suffix due to some local custom.
Other than that a notable effort.
In jokes are for skinners who have suffered posting their efforts on this forum.
