A Note About Repaints
Feel free to produce as many repaints for this model as you desire. However do NOT redistribute the entire model as I have worked hard and spent my own money to build an installer package to hopefully make the installation process easy. I do not like getting angry emails because a simmer is having trouble installing "my" Stearman package only to find it's a repainted version with files missing.
