Love that streaking camo effect on the wings. You’ve nailed the look Bruce!

Verrrry nice!

And the tires are spot-on colorwise!

Looks very nice Carlos. Careful of all those decals from now on, when I do rigging I often mess them up with all the necessary handling.

Thanks guys. John, I was thinking about that. I know that I’ll do the clear coat to seal in and protect the decals before I do the rigging work.
