Holy crap... that is utterly astounding, easily one of the best schemes I've seen on a private plane, anywhere.

The paint is really awesome . It is great to see a unique paint scheme once in a while.
You will draw some attention on the ramp for sure

The scheme came from a German publication.

As you know Hartmann used the 'Tulip' emblem on his aircraft in WW2. When he took command of JG71 post war he introduced the "tulip" to his steeds....Canadair Sabres. Most Luftwaffe groups operated "Piggies" as communications hacks during that period. It still features from time to time on their F-4's

Nice, but it's Hartmann, with two N's, like mine. :axe:

So just to clarify did Hartmann use your actual aircraft?
