My latest repaint

Beech Bonanza N66822.

Here is the stock photo that came with her:

I took some time to repaint my Carenado Beech Bonanza to have as close to identical markings. I painted it Overall White with Chocolate and Gold Accents just like the actual stock photo.

This one was really fun to paint up.

I like this one it shows the luggage and cargo you can add to the storage compartment. You can remove it but it looks cool in there.

Took some time but I like how it turned out. :D

Nice job!

The ones that take time to do are usually the ones that turn out the best. :)

Thank you sir! :D

Next I want to try and recreate this beauty. I like the simple white with blue stripes. The problem is I can't tell if the yellow on the back goes all the way to the front, kinda hard to tell from the angle but I do like how it looks. It looks like there might be small/thin yellow lines on the top near the front, probably both sides, would be nice to have another angle.

Nice paint job there! The effort really shows!:D Just might be willing to give you one pebble from my pocket for this one :)! A little tip : when choosing an aircraft to repaint try to find as many photos of the same aircraft from different angles, that way you will know where what goes when you get ready to plan your paint job!

It took me about 3 weeks to put together that Boeing 777 you see in the screenshot forum and here. But it came out rather good in the end!

Thank you Mav!

I'm not sure how to go about locating other screen shots of the plane I want to repaint....i.e. the white with blue stripes...can I search for this aircraft somewhere/somehow by the tail reg?

try planespotter.net or airliners.net those are my resources for aircraft photos. Thats more of a private plane you working on so I would try to GOOGLE it! if not your just going to have to go with what you have! when I plan a paint I get images from as many angles as possible to ensure that it comes as close to the real deal as possible!

Although you might strike out geting a top down veiw of an aircraft (photos of an aircrafts roof or doing extreme banks that expose the roof to photographers are rare). The only way to get shots like that is to physically take them yourself! So unless you are at an Airshow or have that kind of access! Your best bet is to examine the photo in detail as you have done and decide how you are going to go about it! Using single photos to do paints are not that great because you might be missing something that may be displayed on either side of the aircraft!
