G-TWLV Gets Some Paint!
 
G-TWLV has had some stripey paint applied courtesy of Mick Allen & Son Aircraft Resprays (UK based). It had its first public outing to the RV Bonus Day Fly-In at the historic Duxford Aerodrome on Saturday. :)

(Scheme was shamelessly based on an Australian RV-7A belonging to Brian Degenhardt that I saw on the VAF pages ;) ).











PS Blue and grey are metallic and look fabulous in the sunlight :) - an RV-12 badge has yet to be attached to the fin.

Looks GREAT!
 
Very nice scheme, it transforms the lines of the -12.

Nice To See
 
The painted airframe looks really nice Jerry.

Also nice to see a painted RV-12 prop. But that might change :eek: after a few decent trips!!

John.

Thanks people for the comments. Edited the post - it was an RV-7A not 9, oh and the prop isn't painted, standard Sensenich.

... oh, and it's not an RV-12, it's actually the new RV-14 :)

Just joking! It's one of the best schemes I've seen. Looks great, Jerry.

WOW
 
This is by far the prettiest scheme I have yet to see on any airplane. Very well done! Do you have a link to the original scheme on the other RV?

Edit:Found it! Posted for comparison.

I can take it - we British are made of strong stuff.... :(

Here's a link to the original (RV-7A....) scheme (post #254):

And I've just got the 'painted Sensenich' comment - we British can be a bit slow. ;)

Wow, what a great scheme! It hardly looks like a 12 :D

I have to say WOW like the others. When I was looking at it at first, paying attention to the cool paint, I thought it was a 7! Very nice. Have fun showing it off!
