I have been working on this one the last month. JSI Putt Putt Maru redone in Richard Bongs Marge paint scheme. I think the JSI PPM was the best one to repaint as they did good job on paint and cheapest available. I did not want to repaint completely so removed markings as well as possible and blended with Alclad lacquer aluminum and had to blend it to get the right tone. I think it came out well and old markings not noticeable. PWP did repaint and I believe they used same plane but poor job of blending and painting over old markings. Notice left side

The 100 was painted over and easily noticeable.
I was hoping not to do full repaint and it worked out OK. Thanks to Jackson for excellent work on decals. I believe the Marge name could have been done in black. I don't know. I believe I will paint over slightly the 993 on front to match real pictures.

Thanks for the pos feedback. Hey Jackson yea the written out Marge I have seen in black also so I do not know what is historically correct. I will leave as is as i have sealed decals. I always liked this scheme also. Wondering why 21st did not do this one. Is there some copyright issue or something?

Nice job on the Marge custom, gliderdwm.
Really wish that 21 Century had done this one, instead of "Louise" or " Samantha Payton".
