Just wondering if anyone has painted their rv8 as a Spitfire? Anyone have suggestions on wich program would work best to play with color schemes? I would llike to paint it Canadien colors as I live in Canada. thanks

You mean something like this? Taken at Oshkosh last year. The RV-8 next to it was painted up in green camo and with shark jaws ala flying tigers. Both planes were running rotaries.

No man, not a Spitfire... do a Canadian Navy Sea Fury! And after you find a paint program and paint one, please share with the rest of the class, or at least the retarded guys like me.

I say that because I'm curious as to how an RV-8 might look in a Royal Navy or Canadian Navy Sea Fury scheme, so I downloaded a free trial paint program... problem was, I couldn't figure out how to use the program well enough to actually paint anything. Yep, I'm a computer retard; might have to resort to Crayons or perhaps colored pencils on a 3 view drawing. The shame...

Here's the scheme I've been thinking of, Canadian Navy;

And here's my absolute favorite, the Royal Navy scheme that the Canadian one is based on...

Someday I'll figure it out... no rush though, paint will wait 'til next year.

John,

I did one up like an RCN Sea Fury, but it is on my laptop at home. I'll try and remember to post it tonight. It looks way cool ! ;-)

Cheers

I threw this together on the paint program.It gives you the idea of the Navy scheme . the Sea Furys were based not far from where I live.
