Nice job, one thing I reckon it could do with a tail number on the rear fuselage just to finish it off  ;D

Yeah, I decided to "register" it as N-ROAR, but I didn't want to put it on the plane.  It's also hard to put that on in MSpaint.

Lionceau is french for lion cub, so that explains the registration.

Nice job but just one thing to think about. When you remove the original textures try to retain the panel and rivet lines. Here's what I mean

Very simple texture of a Seneca - I added the vertical panel lines - no idea whether they line up with the real ones  :) . Even without rivets they add a lot to the appearance of the plane and it's absolutely essential for large aircraft.

It's the detail that sets aside your repaints from the others  ;)
