I didn't even know it was a 12 until I kept looking at the boarding step in front of the wing...even then it took a few to realise!

Sorry to be redundant but - WOW!

It's really great to read all the positive comments. Seems like everyone likes the scheme as much as we do!

Very amusing that even the owning/building fraternity of heritage RVs have to admit they like the RV-12....


PS It was actually Mr Newall's fault for telling me about the pictures of his 7 that he'd posted, I scrolled down and there was that splendid (non-red/white/blue) 7A!

She's a beautiful looking aeroplane, Jerry. You've raised the bar for all us mental cases still banging in those rivets!

I have to agree!!! Just amazing, a very nice paint scheme. Maybe I will follow the "leader" and have my RV-12 repainted.

Default Gotta agree!

Great paint scheme!

I will admit that the 12 isn't the most svelte of the RV family - a little 'boxy' if you know what I mean - but, your paint scheme does the best job of stretching out the fuselage lines of any that I have seen.

I am sure that many will copy your scheme. It looks outstanding.

I tried. The lines are a bit different. The templates were made with a computer but were hard to make due too the curves.

Mr Parr,

I resemble those comments.........

Duly acknowledged.

Ours was ripped off from Randy Lervold's 3 and 8.

Thanked in person at Sun n Fun btw.

Proves that nothing is original.

My wife has been in advertising for over 40 years and she says it's all been done before.....
