This kind of goes in hand with Anav's post, Pilot Names. Has anyone done a non-historical repaint of a plane to represent their personal plane in games? Give a description or even better, photos if you have them.

I have a flight of three Camels that I head up as Kyte. It aint worth the bother to photograph them as I only painted our two of the rings around the tail and stuck registeration letters on the sides and wings.Quote:

Mine is nothing spectacular, a Rickenbacker SPAD with the numbers, wheel markings, and top wing stripe removed, the cowling painted blue, and renumbered with the number 8.
Me too, nothing special at all, just a yellow rampant lion put on the upper wing of my Camel.
My Se5a has a decal of a sword through a heart on both sides.
My Albatros DVa has the entire tail painted black.
You can see my plane to the Left!
Fliegen Kinderscheißen is my pilots name.
I re-painted a Fokker DrI in blue-yellow-blue: he colors of my favorite soccer team (Boca Jrs).
Also painting a non-historical Hanroit DI with my avatar on the sides.
I'll try to take and post some pics later
Of course I fly my own plane - Jasta Boelke unknown Johann Koehler
I plan to do that. If you ask me, to heck with history! It's boring!
Careful Grasshopper, you know not what you say. . . .
Now, now, history can be exicting if you learn about the people and not stress exact dates an dry statistics. People's lives are always interesting.Quote:

Not made a personal plane as yet but thinking about it now I have had practice doing some repaints. The examples here are inspiring.
Very cool.....but beyond my talents. Nice work!Quote:

Inspired by this thread I've started painting a Skytrex Eindekker and an FToys Albatros DIII in two-tone blue with eagle motifs for my German pilot Leutnant E. "Der Adler" Schneider - I am guessing Leutnant Schneider's first name is Eduard based on the average duration of his flights, in common with Eddie "the Eagle" Edwards (the 1980's British ski-jumper).
My painting skills are a bit limited, but I'll post pictures if I manage to do the models justice.
