[color=#000000]But you probably won't hear the thunder if you get hit by this Lightning.

[color=#000000]Thanks. The reason the lower portions of the fuselage and cowlings seems brighter in that first shot, is I got lucky and took the capture as lightning struck somewhere behind the camera. As to the paint, I worked on a different scheme off and on for a week and was never happy with it. This one took about three hours before I was satisfied, and was a lot easier.

very very nice!! i especially like the darker paint on the inside parts of the engines and in front of the cockpit (reduces glare i'm assuming?). textures look awesome :) question: what are those black things on top of each engine section right above the wings?

If you mean ATC, I'm crazy, but not that crazy. Being a cop was stressful enough. [/color]
Just curious, was one myself 'til Mr Reagan showed us the door back in '81
