There are plenty of different paint schemes for these Vans RV. Builders after spending several years, want something unique. Lots and lots of ideas available.
There is a thread on VAF that builders have posted to about their graphics.
The RV-6 model, like I have, is the most built RV (over 2600 have been built and flown). It has been discontinued as far as production kits. Mine 1st flew Aug. 1998 so it just had a 20-year birthday of sorts. Original paint still looks good. I've touched it up in a few spots though.
Typically 4-5-years to build; some do it in a couple while others take over 10.
BTW: the second photo looks like a newer model called the RV-8. The canopy is totally different as the pilot sits up front, the passenger sits in the back. RV-8 slighter bigger airplane that can handle more Horse Power. RV-6 pilot and passenger sit side by side.
