Cheers James 
I was a little unsure about it before I began. Blues are notoriously difficult to get right and as I sit here looking at my LED monitor, the blue desktop changes colour as I move my head.. bloody tft/led monitors
Anywho.. I don't think it turned out too badly. I quite like it myself which is something 
The 'real' ZJ164 is an N2 (short nose) but it doesn't look any worse for having a long one

Chaps..
Should any of you have actually downloaded this paint.. I've found a rare shot showing the winch attached and it was white, not blue as I've painted. I've redone the offending map which can be downloaded HERE
Rename your existing _ext3 map to _ext3_blue.dds should you want to chop and change or alternatively, just let the new one overwrite the old one

Don't they just!! 
I swear I used the same wording for the search too 
Was actually looking for shots of her wearing red paint and the blue/white winch combination turned up

Also available in red..
Available HERE
The red scheme was earlier than the blue and probably reflects Bond's 'House Colour' as much as anything

Excellent paints Dave! Really appreciate them!
Had I known I could have helped with photos, from my time on HMS Albion:

Aahhhh... also available in blue
Odd but having looked at the N3 so much over the past few days, I prefer it to the N2 now
I've tweaked a few of the textures since initial release. The upper blade AE is now white-ish and I've changed some of the rotor gear and housing colours. Cera offer the rotor gear and housing as a paint layer without actually listing what these parts are (and there are many). I initially threw paint at the lot (as you do) but found that most (if not all) are a standard colour and not colour matched to the fuse. Working on a basic Bond paint at the moment but will upload an updated blue ZJ164 today at some point.
EDIT: Done. Just download from the original link. This is the full paint (with blue winch gear as an optional map) so bin the original and use this instead
