If you look at the old pictures of the Hobby Lobby Telemaster from the 80's with the good looking woman by it, it looked like that wood framework was painted white and covered with clear monocoat.

I have covered several planes withtransparentcolored MK over the years. One of the coolest was one that I used yellow on the bottem of the wing and tail and blue on the top surfaces. When the sun would show through the wing and tail with the plane in a bank it would turn green.

The very first RC plane I saw fly was at the river bottoms of the Trinity river of I-30 in Dallas. The plane was an Ugly Stik with the traditional trim scheme covered in clear red. it was beautiful to my eyes. Just slowly cruising around. I have been hooked ever since.
