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.

My personal Camel is Elwoods with two broad white bands over the top plane hearts - again not worth a piccy, sorry folks.
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.
Below are my personal planes. Purple Haze and The Flying Purple People Eater.:D

Yeah, well I nearly soiled myself as I saw Purple Haze behind me!
Have a look at the thread in the Hobby Room. "A trio of Neiuport 11s".

Not made a personal plane as yet but thinking about it now I have had practice doing some repaints. The examples here are inspiring.
I've done two. A green and white Fo0kker D-VII, then added some lozenge decal later. A yellow and blue Fokker Triplane. You will have to go to my Profile Page to see pictures.
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.
