Its the 'Maiden Japan' bit im after....ive found loads that are close, but not quite right......

If anyone has a clue to its correct name, id be eternaly grateful

Ive been through that site and identi font or somthing where you upload a picture and it finds some that are near matches - a lot of the letters are close, but the 'M' and the 'J' are always wrong!!! It was actualy 'California Girl' i was aiming at painting, but i then found a good close up of 'Maiden Voyager' so ive changed and gone for that one instead!!

Ill take a look at those and if theres a match i can do a few of Virgins early fleet...

Maiden Voyager however, turns out to be rather interesting, not only was it Virgins first 747, it has a 'painter' on the tail thats falling off his scaffolding stuff, and has spilt paint on the fuselage......youll see what i mean when ive done it, but its quite unique and took me some time to figure out just what it was on the tail and luckily theres some great close ups of it on airliners.net, which made life very very easy and its transfered rather well

The 'Virgin goddess' is, however another matter - she doesnt flip horizontal very well  for the starbord side, and her flag with 'virgin' in it is all wrong...ho hum...tricky!

G-VIRG is its reg

But thanks for looking m8!

That is just splendidly funny! I would consider getting this plane just to have that repaint! I would be surprised if other aircraft weren't radioing the tower to state that there was still  a crew member hanging on to the tail!
  Do you apply those weathering marks or is that a part of the kit like with the tinmouse kit? They look fantastic!
