Great looking paint job! We want to see more views. I'd like to see a picture from the rear left side, showing the top of the wing and the n-number area. Where was it painted?

knew it
didnt think those pix could be posted without illiciting a response!
That is one extraordinary looking RV! The interior and panel just top it off.
I went for the "spartan military look" on my 6 and this contrast really sets the counterpoint to "spartan".
WOW!!
PS - Brian, I think that your 7 may be an example of the best of the breed - RV200 prop, extended hub, SJ cowling/plenum, IO 360, forward sump, ram air - all the best goodies. I suspect it is fast and I know it is gorgeous - well done!!

When I saw this, I thought it was a painting, and not a photo.
Took a bit of detail examining to convince myself it was an actual photo.
Simply amazing work.

Love the hint of checkers on the tail. How is that accomplished? Transluscent color over white & silver?

HDR
This is definitely a gorgeous airplane. I don't want to take anything away from it as an airplane.
I must point out, though, that the photograph is accomplished with an artistic technique called High Dynamic Range (HDR) manipulation, which gives it its ethereal, "unreal" look.
In HDR, multiple shots are taken at various exposure settings, then the images are combined into one.
So it's a fabulous shot and a wonderful paint scheme, and all that. I'd love to see the airplane in a non-HDR photo, just for reference!

I love HDR photography, when done right (like yours) it can produce amazing results.
Did you use photomatix?

Where's the original post or where you are finding out about this? Nice paint job. Any info on the painter/shop? Any build info on the plane or other interior/exterior shots? Where's the sales price?  I'll offer free storage and my first born in exchange for occasional usage... Someone help me build a -4 with this paint scheme...
