Now that I've purchased the Travel Air 6000 add-on from Paul, and as I am a year or two away from needing a really good version of our museum flightsim, I'm interested in a "quick and dirty" repaint that would portray a certain bird.
Here is a black and white picture of the historic aircraft in question:
Here is a picture of Bill DeCreeft's aircraft, who modeled his paint job on "Smiling Thru":

You'll note that he reversed the dark/light colors, and uses two tones of blue instead of green.[/img]
The correct colors for the paintjob are unknown. But the lower part was dark green, the upper part was light green, and the wings and empennage were probably the same color orange as the DeCreeft bird modelled in the flightsim. If I were to guess, I'd say the MS Paint light and dark green are pretty darned close to the right colors.
I'm willing to experiment on my own, but I am completely new to this, and WILL accept any help that someone wants to do on a repaint. If someone decides to help out, or do the repaint for me, I'll ensure that I attribute your work to the museum. Heck, we are tax-exempt, so maybe we can work something out.
