PA-48 style using the dark green on the port propeller, and continuing
the light green on the stbd.

Good ideas there Kit, Jon --- it was looking at photos of that PA-48 a while ago that got me thinking dark green.  I think because the blades will be satin black, I'll go with the two greens idea for the spinners, I'll modify the camo on the port cowling to have a bit of green nearer the spinner too.

Thanks too Todd, Philp

You could try day-glo pink spinners, NO danger of the ramp crew knocking their heads on them then.  ;D ;)
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Ah, now I see the photos! And worth the wait, too.  :thumbsup:

Very nice work there, Robert.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Thanks Rick, Guy, Chris -----

The greens on the spinners work good too , thanks Jon. I did add a bit of dark green to the front of the port cowling so it didn't have a hard edge between the colours.

I've temporarily added a couple of alternative stores to the large pylons, which are BLU-118 I think.

Oh! and last night I got an idea for a name for it, nothing fancy though --- It will be called a North American AF-82/A-11 Super Twin   ;D

Turboprop version would be a Twinforcer...

Very good job.  Looks great.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.
