Guess they all can't have catchy names like chiller and coolsville. Since I did download the trial for corel draw, I do have this font, so I will be able to use that for now.

In reference to the finish, guess before my time, in the old Formula 1 race days, finish was part of the whole competition. there were some really nice finishes back then. There are still a few that paint. And then painting in the mold is quite common on the composite air frames; you have to paint backwards. And I think it would be real difficult to do the 3D highlights and such in the mold.

For me until the weather gets a little warmer, it will be hard to do a lot of this stuff since i paint the nasty stuff outdoors.

Pat, if you ever head out to Kansas to fly in the contest run by Vince, let me know so I can see those plane first-hand.

Two ideas, if you'd be able.
1.The one black plane with the flames all over it, I assume you were using the flame templates for doing that. Is that something you can show how to do?
2. Have you considered making video of any of these techniques to share, like the ones on how to spray using the templates, and such. or maybe you already know of some videos that show those things that you could share.

Cheers,
Doug
