Check out this outstanding picture (remember you can click on the photo for a larger view) of an RV7 posted on VAF. Simply stunning photography and paint job! I swear to you just so you know I'm not copying Mr. Sands, my fuselage paint scheme (my hand sketched drawings) looks very similar to this scheme (minus the checkerboard). :) Just swap the colors for red/black.
This certainly gives me confidence that my scheme will also look good when done...thats assuming mine comes out this nice. Hand sketches are quite different than real life. Anyhow, hope you enjoyed these photos as much as I did. Nice job Chris and whoever your painter was. In my humble opinion, this is what an RV7 should look like. I am not a fan of the 'bare bones' utilitarian RV's that are out there. Panel work is also exquisite and courtesy of SteinAir.
[On as a side note: I have not obtained permission from Mr. Sands to use these photos although I am trying to get his contact information. I am also not sure if permission is required under the fair use copyright laws of the United States as long as I provide information and/or a link to the rightful owner? (which I have done)] [Edit 01/24/11: I recieved permission from Chris, thanks Chris. Let me add, regardless of the legality of posting someone else's photos. It is, at the very least, ethical and polite to ask permission...which I always try to do. By the way, this plane is for sale, $129,000 and its all yours! Edit 04/11/11: Chris told me he sold this plane within an hour of posting it for sale...not too shabby in this economy.]
Does anyone have Chris Sands contact detail????
ReplyDeleteSorry I don't...I contacted him when I did this post, but haven't talked with him since.
