Must have been a bear to paint it....guess no one would notice if you were off by a few dots...(unless they actually count them prior to delivery!)

How NOT to paint a plane

Written on 03/25/2019 by Alan Macdonald

Not many amphibious Catalinas around now and this one looks good but will look better with a restoration.I am a member of HARS museum in Australia and we have both an amphibious Consolidated PBY-6A Catalina and a restored C121 Military version of a Lockheed Super Constellation.Both airworthy aircraft and also beautiful aircraft.

The type designation for this CubCrafters made Carbon Cub CC11-160 should be "PA11"... :-)

(Carbon Cub CC-11 variants are showing PA11 as an ICAO aircraft type designator.)

That's a very well done photo capture... thanks for sharing it with us!
