Thank you LT for the wonderful paint on my new C185f by Carenado

For some unknown reason Larry was kind enough to create a paint scheme for me that I can't tell how proud I am to show it off!

My wife is from Texas and her favorite color is yellow, ergo Pepe' smelling yellow roses on the vertical stabilizer which is apropos as my bride is always on my tail. Grin

My favorite color is blue so I get the best of all worlds!

Below is the four variants of Carenado's Bush series C185f...with my personal livery from Thee Man, Larry 'patchz' Davis Wink

Thank you for looking and I know you'll like, Pepe' Le Pew Cool

Tundra, Amphibian, Ski and Float shown below respectively...

Very cool.....Larry did an awesome job Cool

The shot of the ski version in the mountains could easily be passed off as a photograph Shocked

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

Yes he did IMHO! One variant would have been a thrill but, but all four...oh là là

Thanks for the compliment Chuck!

I could easily visualize Snoopy on your Cessna Shocked

Superb shots Greg. The backgrounds in the first three are amazing. And you are welcome.

Chuck, I had a great model to work with. I wasn't sure about painting the struts and rudders on the float version yellow, until now. The rust spots would not have shown up with the blue. And I think the rust spots make it look more realistic. Carenado really did a good job with this one.

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

I'm very glad you approve LT.

I just got through flying the base model. I may like it even better than my personalized one. Cheesy
