My first repaint - a ~~slightly~~ very free interpretation of G-EGLL, not least because this is a Warrior III. Grin

It's a bit too shiny. But other than that it looks good Wink

Side shot would be nice. And you can never have to much shiny. Ahhhhhh, shiny. Cheesy

I agree with the above comments: it looks good but it's way too clean. Also, it lacks a little bit of plane body details (such as rivets, etc...).

Got bloom ?
Got mountains ?
Got damage ?

I think you did a great job.

And I like clean and shiny. You can always 'dirty' it up later. But I feel obligated to warn you...

REPAINTING IS VERY ADDICTIVE! Grin

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

Great start!
There seem to be a few problems at the wingroots in front, and with the end of the blue on the underside though...

You got that right! I'm currently on a repaint binge with all the Cessnas I've done in the past and I can't download a new plane without making plans for how I'll repaint it! Grin
