That's a great looking scheme. Somehow suits the airframe, too, I think!

Love the Goanna wrap-around Rickshaw. Imagine the dust-cloud that thing would kick up in the outback! The 'Osprey' name doesn't really suit anymore though. A pity that 'Wedgetail' is already spoken for  ;)

It was well received by my co-workers on the V-22.  Though I suspect the paint shop at Amarillo would be non-plussed to match that scheme on a full-scale aircraft.

If they want the FS numbers, I can supply them.  ;)

Its based on an actual scheme that was tried experimentally by the RAAF on their Caribous but not used.   There were IIRC three Caribous which used the scheme.  All now sadly gone.
