Good morning Larry....

Having viewed this livery and the same aircraft in black for some reason I do like this livery just a little bit better.
I think it is because I did not have to look twice or harder to appreciate the detail you always put into your work. This one seems to look so natural the way you have done it and I feel myself it looks great on the aircraft.
I would also add that this livery would not look as good on your large flying boat you did in the black livery, that flying boat livery is wonderful, however that is my personal opinion and I am no expert. :)
Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug
