Wow. Beautifully done SK. Outstanding, eye-catching scheme that certainly draws attention when it comes into the pits.

I like the straight-lined, easy-to-cut graphics that would make this part of the build easier for me. Thanks for the pic.
In a Sig 4Star build thread, VincentJ mentions blasting the frame work with compressed air to remove hidden dust. Your black T-shirt idea goes a step further. Never thought of that. Man, how things have advanced since I last built a plane.

My buy list keeps getting longer. I will be adding 400 grit sandpaper and Windex with Ammonia to it.

I think I have a pretty good experience on stretching the covering tight upon initial application.

Regarding applying of graphics such the stripes and checkerboards, do you first prep the area beneath by puncturing with multiple pinholes? Or, do you just lay it down?

It's a good feeling in coming to the field with a kit-built plane that does not resemble the others sitting in the pit area.

Thanks for your tips.
