Default RE: How to make a 3D <span class=

That Ultimate is sure to be a show stopper. What are you going to do the wings?

I gave the 3D flag a whirl on my Byron CAP 21. I spent about six hours on the first lay out, but didn't like it. I also had one hell of a time with the transparent blue monokote. I ended up getting some transparent blue vinyl instead. That went much better! Now I only need to decide what to do to the fuselage. I plan on having 'Old Glory' in flowing script on the fuse behind the wings, but the rest of the design has me scratching my head. I can't wait for our annual club open house. I can already picture that plane in the air, thick white smoke pouring out, with Lynyrd Skynyrd's 'Red, White and Blue' playing in the background...or maybe Lee Greenwood's anthem...pure American bliss.
EDIT: Obviously the right wing needs some more red stripes.
