Is the black lettering on your Budweiser logo applied to the wing after the white lettering (butted up against it) or does the white
overlap the black ?

Thanks
Tim

Status: offline 		umm when i was a storeman a few months ago the bags were purple and orange, i have seen the green as well, i didnt know that meant the diference in shipping. i was thinking that some large blocks of the plane would have to be purple, like 1/3 of the wing from the LE. but im unsure. Maybe if i asked real nice Minnflyer might send me one of his blank 3 views to play with, or if anyone has found/see sommit similar.
this would be a nice one to do as well....

Tim your right, the white was put down 1st and the black butted up against it....the shadow was kinda an after-thought...The BUDWIESER looked OK ...but it needed that shadow.....You really notice the shadow better in person, photos I dont think bring it out enough, but I guess you can see it/.....Gator

Status: offline 		Gator,

I just found this thread. I want to thank you for taking the time to do this. I have tried to write simple how tos for the club newsletter in the past. It is very time consuming, especially since you took pictures.

This is the best part about this site, people sharing information, raising the bar for everyone.

Thanks again Gator.

Ken

Thanks
