So I took the plunge and started to repaint the PA-31. Part 2

I am slowly getting there.

 

Still a work in progress. :Nail Biting:

Looking good, I had a look at the layout and the nancelles do appear to be a pain...

[Staffan 12]

Thanks.

 

So far, only the nacelles has taken 12 hours. And still there is finetuning to do.

Again, VERY NICE!

See. All it takes is determination and nothing else to do with your life. Is this a real world a/c?

 

I'll go and check.

 

Yes it is. You're doing a great job. It does look nice in it's new paint job.

[Staffan 12]

Yes, it is a real world a/c.

 

The classic factory paints I will do are the blue, red, yellow, bronze and light blue.

 

I will release all paints with US registration, and in addition, the blue, red and yellow with swedish registration. :wink:

Looking good Staffan! :smile:

 

Thanks Ed. :smile:

 

I am doing this to honor my late dad who soloflew a PA-31-310 (cn 31-82), from the factory in US to Karlstad/Sweden in 1969. B)

 

First I was doing only the actual plane he operated. But since I picked up speed, I thought,..what the heck,...I do some other paints aswell. :Big Grin:

Can't wait. They look GREAT!

I was looking at this one, it looks to be pretty much the same scheme with color changes, could this be doable?
