Maybe. I'm basically doing mods on the fly - that paint scheme was done by tracing over some plans I found on the Internet, using Paint.NET and my tablet PC, so it's sort of out of date.

Actually, it's Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm. I love it too though.

By the way, although I put the 'N' on the tail because I didn't know what the letters were there for at the time, so I just put an 'N' since it was right by an image of a compass needle and a star. Hence, North Star. I've since decided that ZK-564 flies from the fictional seaplane tender HMS Nighthawk. There is no actual Nighthawk in service - it was a name given to the unit of naval personnel who had left RAF Drem at the end of WW2.




Yours is really good.
