RE: Edge Pics?
Do you know the registration or "N" number of the airplane? I can't zoom in close enough to read it. If you have a higher resolution image, you might be able to tell what it is. If you can get that bit of critical information, you can go to the FAA aircraft registration database and get the owner's name & address. I would then call/write the registered owner. I'm sure he/she would be excited to know that someone is building a model of their airplane. If they have a digital camera, they might be willing to take all the detailed photographs you could ever want!
Here is the link to the FAA's database search engine:

If you don't know the "N" number, you might want to check with Bob Banka's Aircraft Research. He has 7 Edge 540s listed in his current catalog, although none of them seem to match the color description of this aircraft. I'm sure he adds Photo Paks all the time. If this airplane is new (which I suspect it is), it might not have made his latest catalog. Best of luck!

Yeah I tried to make out the N number but could not get clear enough. I have emailed Zivko but have not rxed a reply as of yet. I have tried this in the past and never heard from them so I keep my fingers crossed.

RE: Edge Pics?
Chris,
Too bad Zivko is non-responsive. It's a sweet looking paint scheme. I guess some of these companies don't take modelers seriously ... no revenue opportunity for them. What they don't realize is that there are a LOT of modelers that are full scale pilots too. Companies with poor reputations can easily bleed into both communities.
Best of luck!

RE: Edge Pics?
Well my Pops got a reply from them and they did there best to help us. They do not have any better pics but told us that the red goes back about 25% and then checkerboard from there back while the wing had invasion stripes. Here is what I came up with for the Top of the wings.
