Just pasted one on those Blended texture maps to the skin layer of my paint kit to see what happens. Played with the colorize options and contrast options. Could have easily make this any color of the rainbow in about 3 seconds. Think I should add a layer for the call letters. Standby.

It's a nice repaint idea but I think these colors do not suit the shapes of that bird so well, especially the black part which tends to mask the volumes.

Looks like a real fun bird however. I have recently bought the BD-5 microjet/prop from IRIS and I love it much more than I expected.

I don't like your refuel probe. Couldn't you model an articulated one that hides in the body, like the F-18 or F-14 ?

Got bloom ?
Got mountains ?
Got damage ?

Hi Daube
Thanks for the comments, but I don’t know what you mean by “tends to mask the volumes”?
Anyway, just playing with the colorize option within Paint Shop Pro, plus adding a layer as needed to put some graphics on the paint and you can see how easy it is to make some sister paint shemes.
As for the refuel probe and putting an articulated one that hides in the body - There is no room left in that little aircraft.

It's simple: when your aircraft has a bright color like white for example, the shapes, the volumes, the various lines of the aircraft body are easy to see.
With a dark or flashy color, these are less visible.
To my eyes, your plane looks much better in white
