All Thumbs

Well, that's kind of a loaded question, with lots of answers. If you have a specific question, let me (us) know.

In a nutshell: I already talked about how I got my stickers off. The next thing I did was snap a pic of the plane (actually four of them...top, bottom, side, and 3/4 view). I then masked/cut out the plane itself from the photo and dropped it on a plain blue background. Then I just fooled around with those in a photo editor, although any drawing program would do...or even just print them out and draw on them by hand. I did that until I got something I liked...took awhile . After that I taped some large construction paper pieces on the plane, figured out what my main dimensions would be to match my picture, then drew the pattern on the wing itself. I cut out the patterns, used them to cut out the Monokote and just ironed the whole thing together. Nothing real special here. I put the Monokote right on top of the existing covering.

I can provide the blank jpg's I made if anyone is interested (although you'll have to suffer with the checker pattern that I kept). Maybe this is more than what you wanted , but your question isn't specific.

Just for grins, here's a small version of the file I used for the top view in Corel Photo Paint. You can right click the opened image, save it, and play with copies of it.
