Excellent !

The Lim-6bisR n/s 1J06-19 belonged to the 45th regiment in Babimost. Her appearance is of the beginning of 90' and later she was sold to an owner in the USA.. IIRC the plane had the entire nose painted with the green camo colour. No aluminium paint there. Also the grey undersides should be of the blue one. But it might be a light trick that causes the underside colour and the lighter green on tops like being of different tinges.
