The Thorp T-18 you see in the pictures below is a model that is made available for virtual flight enthusiasts, for Microsoft Flight Simulator X. Modeled and designed by a virtual flight friend, Robert Kerr.  Of which he released to the community in May, 2011.

The model was created over a span of several years, where as, Roberts father had built several of them through out his time growing up. Later in Roberts adult life, Robert wanted to see this aircraft in Microsoft Flight Simulator X. So, Robert was on a mission to make that happen. Which was to model this aircraft himself, and do it to as real as virtually possible within the limitations of the specified flight simulator program mentioned above. The pictures below are the paint schemes I did using Adobe Photoshop CS3.
