The New Virgin

Looking furher at Holgi's VA paint , it looks like he " forgot " a white layer of paint as the cream colour is basically the background colour in the paintkit and any photo's on the net are showing a nearly pure white paintscheme . Also cannot find the registration used in the VA fleet . I can only assume that the paint was made before the " sharklets " were oficially added or retro-fitted as I have only found one registration that actually has them .

There may be more aircraft that have the " sharklets " but having no luck in finding any ( high resolution photo's ) at the moment .

Preview of a " Work in Progress " of a Virgin America with sharklets . Not happy with it yet and my first " sharklet " paint . Just spent some hours painting the sharklets only to discover that they changed the mapping in the final pain(t)kit . So here's N361VA " jersey girl " . Click on the image to preview .

Loving it...stunning repaint John, I'm sure it will be heavily down-loaded!

Noticing some weird issus with the NEO paintkit with ther same colour showing differently in each fuselage section . Most pronounced in the aft section seen above .

Corrected the " stars " in the sharklets ( brought them in line ) although the topmost star is only a few pixels , so isn't even star shaped . Not happy with the Virgin America text either ( haven't found a decent example as eps or vector ) . Also need to add white edge to tailfin .

I'll keep it simple and just upload to Aerosoft as it seems to confuse some people as to where you can find repaints , although AVSIM isnt exactly unknown in the flightsim world !
