Paint Scheme thoughts

[MarkW]

Jay,
I simply used Microsoft Paint. I believe it is in about every computer with windows and it was free. Difficult at first but it got easy. Very primative and simple program so there is not much you can do but my scheme is simple.
I downloaded the 3 view and modified it with paint to give it better definition. Then I just use a shell drawing to make changes. If you have problems finding a good 3 view I can send you mine.

You can use them to do stripes,curves,pictures,fancy writing etc. If you put them over the base coat you can then use a clear top coat to perminantly embed them onto the aircraft. However don't do that to the rego number as a new owner might want a different one, and you would not be able to remove it if it is under the clear coat.
