Ultimate.... I know what you mean about the underside, but I racked my brain trying to come up with an underside scheme that was chalk and cheese compared to the top, but without introducing any more colours as Iv'e been down that route before. I couldn't come up with anything that had a higher contrast to the top than this, so it won!
Eddy....tis not based on anyones particular scheme, just bits an bobs picked up and tried on Phillys plan views with felt tips.
Archie... the "bits an bobs" meant I trawled through the I H galleries and I certainly spotted your leccy one, and got ideas from it such as the black front to match the carbon and the rear decking.I know I gotta wait for the YS delivery now anyway, so as long as we sort something out before then,and I dont get swamped out under all the C140 pre orders!!!
Philly...I fitted my spats to the uc with a small bit of wet and dry cyanoed to the Uc.Grips the spat and stops any swing( done it before an it works great).Also the IH axles are just the right length that the end can be made to touch, and fixed to the opposite side of the spat, giving much more support and less chance of buggering up,I hope! I fixed it with thick cyano and zapper, so that its got a good fillet between the axle and spat.The spat is really held on now,flexing it sideways just causes the uc to flex.
Its covered in profilm, with approx 5 mm overlaps on all the joints.Glad most people seem to like it though.
