Not really. Copied it off of the net http://www.airliners.net I started out by Googling Extra 300S photos. When I found this tail # I googled it and got a bunch of hits. This brings up a good point. When looking at pictures of this tail number the airplane has gone through many iterations. As it changed hands logos got added and the paint scheme gets more complicated. This photo is an early version without all of the added decals. Makes finding an ARF that matches the photo much easier.
