I admire hand brush painting skills as i mine are very limited.. to say the least!  ;D I admit to have never practiced them much, though... :rolleyes:

It will have US rego.  Hopefully I can find one previously used by Air America as that would be a nice touch for the back story.


Didn't they change them on a daily basis? You could use almost any reg you liked under those circumstances.  ;)

If that's a problem, watch the movie "Air America", with Mel Gibson & Robert Downey Jr, to see if you can get a screen grab of one of their rego's. ;D

They fly a Provider in the movie (a "one day" future build) and i'd really like a genuine Air America Boxcar rego.  I haven't done any looking yet and am hopeful of finding a pic I can then use as reference material should I ever show this.
Anyone interested in the activities of the CIA's airlines should read Air America by Christopher Robbins (no relation).  It treats the subject properly and is very scathing about the movie (which is IMO an enjoyable watch but not to be viewed as a documentary).
