Was a Blue an White Cermark Pitts S2B.. I was ironing some shipping wrinkles out around the tail surface when a large piece shrunk and pulled away from the vertical fin... Really was not crazy about the Blue scheme anyways.... Covered it in Ultracoat black and Checkerboard and did the cowl and wheel paints and gear in PPG DBC ...O.S.1.6 for power with a modded Bisson pitts muffler.. Radio install is next on the list...

Status: offline 		As you can see I think "DMehalko(DM)" scheme was great so I "borrowed" most of it. So I take NO credit for it but it does show how good a job I think "DMehalko(DM)" did with his.

Thanks again DMehalko(DM). Dave

Status: offline 		Here are a couple of mine. They are all covered with Monokote. One is a Great Planes RV-4 (flag), one is a Great Planes Super Decathalon (starbursts) and one is a scratch-built Corbin Baby Ace D (grey). I used traditional methods for trimming including heat application and trim solvent.

Status: offline 		Don't have anything to post, but would highly suggest that Puckett Aviation get some shots in here. I've never seen anything like the work they do....

Do a search for "Carven" to see a Carden Edge in the Raven Scheme.
Or, look at the H-9 Extra 330L. I think they came up with that scheme when McConville worked at Midwest.

Status: offline 		Theres my wingless LT-40, so original. And my 4 star thats in production. Havent decided whether or not to add another thick stripe under the 1/8 inch stripe. I think the small stripe will get lost at distance. What do yall think?
