Ken told me that monocoating the nose is a real challange but that it is possable. The monocoat should stick to ABS with a little heat to seal it down. I believe that the pastel accents on his plane were cut on a flojet or lazer cutter from a graphics program inhouse. We would have to cut them by hand or farm them out to one of the commercial graphics outfits.

No it was'nt an R/C version. The knockoff came from a 60 something Vette but mine was a 73 bought new. The knockoff never would fit but my wife was none the wiser. I had the car for 2 or 3 months when she announced that we were going to have a baby. We traded the Vette in when Jennifer was 6 monts old. The Vett had less than 8000 miles and was almost 2 years old. It took me 21 years to get the second Corvette. We went looking for an old one for a restoration project and found a 5 year old Roadster. My wife liked it so much she let me buy it. We had it 5 years and Put 20,000 miles on it. She drove it for over 15,000 and I got to put a little less than 5 K. But it was "my" car when it needed anything. So buy the tire cover, but make sure it is her favorite color. Good luck ever seeing it unless it needs gas or tires.


More later.
