Thats looking fantastic Chris. As much as I actually love the colour shades you've used (and to be honest I'd love a copy of the repaint as is at the moment before/if you correct it) I think the green needs to be a tad darker and less pastel and the blue needs a touch less blue in it.

OOooooo thats' nice!
XZ432 was the last Bucc built y'know
'Twas on 12 Sqn at Honington when I was there on 208.
Anyways, I think the serials under the wing are ever so slightly too large,
paint up some squadron markings and get it flying!

call this positive but constructive critisism but i think all you've done is spray a load of (the wrong) green over the default dark sea grey that came with the DSB Bucc (as it was in a navy colour scheme). and judging by this something tells me you are using FSRepaint to do your aircraft. try using a paintkit and put some rivets and panel detail on it, or how about some exhaust dirt, and maybe create an alpha channel to represent reflective paint?[/u]

Ben,
Firstly im shocked that you are acusing me of using FS repaint (no disrespect to any).
Secondly, im using a paint kit from Igorski, which came as the green.
Thirdly, The kit has the rivets, Panel Lines, and weathering.
Fourthly, The repaint does have an alpha channel on it, but not to shine!!! Without the alpha the left side goes blurred.
Fithly, I painfully lined up all of the camo to join up!!!
