If it is not for display then I wouldn't worry too much . I would only put the time into spoofing the plane up if it was going to be apreciated . The plastic ones are a bit on the cheesy side but the plane will look a bit cheesy without anything too .

Ken, you thoughts are starting to mirror my own. At the least I'll but the SIG cheek pieces on before I let them have it. I may try to arrange a demonstration flight for them to watch at one of the local fields. I don't think the A/P they meet would appreciate it being flown there.
