Thanks.  Smiley
Well, since this post, I've changed the black to dark blue and there were some small touches here and there. But I've been trying to get the floats to look metal finish instead of painted. Fail, miserably.  Sad There is not specular channel and I think that is what is giving me a problem.
I also wanted to add a small red stripe next to the black, now blue ones, but I don't think I can. I just got it today and am falling back into my old habits. Brand new aeroplane and already paintin' it.  Cheesy
It's the Lionheart Creations Quest Kodiak.

I put it off long enough.  Roll Eyes
Don't envy, get off your pocketbook and go get you one. It's only money.  Grin $24.95 and they are on build 2.6 now. Doesn't look quite as good as a Super Otter, except inside. VC is awesome. And it really flies well. Just a little quicky on the water and doesn't want to throttle down all the way. 'Spect I need to spend some time with the manual.  Roll Eyes

That panel alone looks like it requires a separate rating  Smiley.

At first glance, I thought so too. But it's a lot less complicated than it looks. Besides, most of what you need is in the three 'old' type gauges to the left, ASI, Alt, & Horizon. The center screen has a 'map' button to wake it or put it back to sleep, and it is actually easier to use than some others I've seen. It only took a few minutes to get used to the VC and now I spend more time there than in exterior view. The only downside I've found so far, is the small light blue screen on the right. I thought the glare was coming from the overhead light, but apparently not. It's a little hard to see.
