I am fond of the military schemes on an RV8 so #6 would be my first choice (although I like it better in a fastback). I like #2 best of the non military schemes.

What program are you using to generate your pictures?

I like number one best, but am not sure about the brown color, just personal preference. I also like number two for a more traditional look.

If I were building an 8, it would MOST DEFINITELY have a military tribute scheme on it. So, #6 for me!

Other than that, I'm most fond of old school "traditional" schemes. The new "swoopy" styles don't do it for me...

I like #1 if they are gold and blue, but paint schemes are really personal things.

I like swoopy.

The square corners of the RV lend themselves to swoopy.

It breaks up the monotony and is more current and modern.
