I'm with Jimmy on this one. Red is red. So what if the cowl is two shades darker than the covering. Who was that guy on here that spent like three months getting his plane just right, sanding and repainting all the glass parts so the covering matched perfectly. Then lost his plane the first week doing stupid stunts with it? You don't build a perfect plane then do fun fly stunts with it. Really, the sun is going to fade the different materials at different rates during the first season any way so why the grief. Then there is the just the every day digs and nicks of use.

I'm not talking about scale contest quality planes. I'm talking about Tiger II's and Super Sportsters. These types of planes are supposed to be fun to build and fly, not to cause an ulcer over getting the wheel pants to match the plastic covering.
