From Leonidas Theofilopoulos in Hellenic Airforce colours. Frankly I'm just pleased that someone has painted this great plane from Björn Büchner.   |

That looks like it would be a good basis for a repaint kit. It's a nice little plane and I think we could use some repaints of it.

Where did you get that Auster? I didn't even know anybody made one. Been on my wish list for a long time.

If you get stuck pm me and I'll serch for the backed up zip. Can't do it now I'm off out for a free meal...and I never give up a free meal ;D |

Flightsim? Aaaaghhh. You know how to ruin a man's day. Well, maybe I'll work myself up to it. I'd do a lot for an Auster.
Now this is one I can actually fly, right? You wouldn't send the old man slogging through the wasteland of Flightsim just to get something with an unusable VC or none, would you?
But by all means go; I wouldn't dare stand between a Mancunian and a free meal. (And then people make jokes about the Scots....)

OK, I got it, I got it. You're right, very nice piece of work, above average VC too. Thanks for the headsup, Roger.
But you're also right about the need for repaints. I don't do military in FS and no WAY am I flying under the colors of the SAAF - especially from that period.
So let's have some civilian repaints (British registration would be nice) of this excellent little aircraft, which as I say has long been high on my wish list.
(Right, now if only somebody will do that Curtiss Robin - )

Duck-egg blue with lettering in dark green. British codes.
(You won't know why unless you read THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME by Gavin Lyall. And come to think of it that was a float Auster and an Aerocar at that. But I still think it would look nice.)
Or just about any nice simple paint job. On the conservative side I think. A lovely old Auster like that shouldn't be tarted up it seems to me.

Looking very NICE there Chris ;D
Can the pilot's face be darkened? He's not as well modeled as the plane and a slightly darker skin tone makes this less apparent.
