One thing I learned on my way to the paint shop. The schemes I had
all appeared to be good candidates on the two dimensional drawings
but when you apply them to the three dimensional airplane they take
on a much different appearance. They shape of a Velocity creates a
special challenge to paint design. The results of what looked like a
good design turned the airplane into what looked like an Easter Egg.
This happens because the design somehow shorten the fuselage and the
wings tend to disappear thus also shortening the whole thing.
N55XL is shown under the completed airplanes on the gallery site.
