Yup, the colors of my plane do look better in Maverick's picture.

Seriously, the colors in my review are fairly accurate given that my digital camera does not always provide perfect hue. You will notice some variations in the darkness of the blue depending upon the light and exposure in the many photos. Either way, the color scheme is highly visible and easy to orient top/bottom in the air. Wonderful flying plane. Too bad I'm on the road and not home flying it!
