Congrats on your first repaint!  It's always a special moment when you realise you can do something like that, and you'll never be limited to the default paint jobs for any planes again.

Doesn't look pretty basic to me...Looks darn good actually.
I too have just started working on repaints, and I now know how hard it is to make a "basic" plane.  Not anywhere as simple as it seems..

Nice Job!

"big thanks to wji and Felix for the help"
Hey, it's not everyday I get an honorable mention  :) but, you're welcome.

I agree it's not a 'basic' repaint as it uses some nice stiping lines and curves into the vert-stab. Good job.
BTW, which model is it?
