But, if you are old enough to remember the original commercial, this is not a Chunky. What better paint scheme could you have for a Hershey Bar Cherokee than a Chocolate Hershey Bar
And before you complain that you prefer your Hershey's with almonds, may I suggest that the nuts are usually behind the yoke(s).
Based on an actual aircraft (photo supplied by Taindraggin68 and Air West Aviation, Inc., this became a joint effort. Taildraggin68 supplied the interior to match the original aircraft, and the Fox River Paint Shops did the exterior.
Actual aircraft:
Our Version:
It is suggested that you read the README FIRST file within the zip file.

One Caveat.............. Neither Taldraggin68 or I will warranty this aircraft against wing droop in warm weather.

That's what I forgot to put on the floor
Thats a good idea Craig, I'm going to start sticking something "ordinary" but not really associated with a plane items in my interior paints.........may find half an Oreo, sippy cup, french fry.....who knows what will turn up

Looks good enough to eat!!! If I get wig droop here in Aus, I'll just have to fly upside down for a while
. Oh, hang on... we fly that way all the time, down under, so no problem....
Thanks for the clean and dusty files. It will be great to be able to change it's appearance at will.
One question - what is the file "vc3_s.dds" for?
Cheers,
Mike

That's the spec layer for the seats and it gives the fabric more of a fabric look as opposed to vinyl

Thanks. I just downloaded a DDS decompiler program so I could have a go at something, so it's good to know what each file is for. You never know, if I can suss this one out, I may have a go at a repaint.
Cheers,
Mike

Great to see the Cherokee still getting some loving attention. Very nice work chaps!

Careful Mike - if you do that your wig might fall off completely. Fly aeros with a loose hairpiece in the cockpit and there could be a helluva price toupe!

Excellent work on the paint match. That can drive one nuts, occasionally.

Thanks......But it is actually semi-sweet dark.....easier on your heart if the engine quits.
