(lost files in computer crash). What I discovered was a lot of inconsistency in actual dimensions between "original" airplanes from China. Obvious to me that these insignia and paint are field applied, much like our military practices. As example I have a 80's era book of USAF colors and schemes, not real precise except for color numbers which I'll bet vary by batch.

It's about 12 megs so can't post it but will mail it to anyone who is looking to print their own. I just picked up my plane last week and the graphics (semi-painted over) look like they were spray-can applied standing as far away as they could :-) Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=351333#351333 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message yak-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Yak-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/yak-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/yak-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
