This is not actually my first plane, I don't have one, but it's the first plane that I flew. I'm training in a Cessna 172, and have had a few bumpy landings. I'm getting better, and I'm happy to report, that I haven't broken my painting arm.
However, when painting this plane, I really had to look, and look hard. I wanted it to be a little loose without all the nuts and rivets showing. When I showed it to my instructor, he looked for the miniscule tiny detail. He makes a better flight instructor than a painter.
I thought it was a lot of fun to paint something completely different. Atleast, you can tell it's a plane...and it's airworthy.
This creates wonderful abstract negative and positive spaces. It looks perfect to me...my turn to say WOW. And you are flying?? WOW again!
