Hey Ryan- what's with the RV-8 canopy... is there a way to make that more visible/realistic... doesn't look like Perspex atm... perhaps that's a SWS materials choice?

Love and appreciate your work- as ever.

There's no canopy - it's just a model for painting.

SWS has updated all of their RVs now!

The RV8 already had it but now both the 10 and 14 have the new G3X paired with either PMS or TDS GTN.

Did another RV14 paint, this time for the triycle gear version.  Based on the one by Evoke...

I only bought the RV-8 a little while ago but I've fallen in love with it! A friend and I do formation aerobatics and I've painted Redline Airshows planes....BUT two very disappointing aspects have arisen. One, the most important, you can't see each others smoke and Two. you don't see a pilot in your partners aircraft. It takes the edge off.

Check out Redline Airshows

Oh and you cant assign a button for smoke on/off.

Adobe Substance Painter is expensive!  Wow!  $50 a month?  

I know this was posted quite some time ago but Armorpaint is becoming a viable alternative to Substance Painter. 
There is a compiled version that can be bought for a one-time fee of 19$.

BTW Great repaints Ryan! 😎

Thanks, that's one of my favorite paints - turned out really well.

Being on the fence for the RV-8 I'm wondering how the GTN units are implemented. The product page states "PMS GTN and TDS GTNXi* compatibility, with hot-swapping supported in the analogue variant". Does the glass cockpit also offer a pairing of the G3X with a GTN?

I believe all pairings are supported, but for the G3X/TDS panel you would need the GTN Pro version..  Personally, I love the analog gauges coupled with the TDS GTN, and I am still running the basic TDS unit..  Lovely airplane!
