Escort?

While preparing for a test flight ( I wanted to see what my 'new' weathering on the wings looked like), I noticed a DC3 taxiing away, so I thought 'Let's give it an escort'

Image
Taxiing to the runway. The airfeld is FTX Jandakot btw

Image
The DC3 is taking off

Image
Climbing out of Jandakot

Image
Where is that DC3? Ah, there it is!

Image
Closing in, boy, that crate is slow

Image
Even with full flaps, I found it impossible to stay next to it, I kept stalling

Image
So it was back home for me...

And, what do you think of the weathering on the wings?

I forgot to mention that this was a request from New Zealand.
This aircraft (the only P-47 ever in NZ I think) stood for years as a gate guard in Auckland, so it didn't look very good...
and it is still Work in Progress..

and I did

Looks good. What about putting some on the fuselage and wingtips?

That weathered paint on the wings looks really cool.  8-)

nice set of shots and nice replication of the paint to match the real deal :)
