Default RE: Another 4*60 on the building board

No new pics of the build yet, but I need to start coming up with the covering scheme so I can order it. Here is what I have so far. Not sure, but I think there is a little cheesyness going on and I really want something classier. I also don't know what to do with the sides and tail feathers, so, they are just left as is for the moment. Any input would be greatly welcomed.

While we are on the subject, and at the risk of starting a holy war, what should I use to cover it? I used a combination of monocote and sig aerocote on my first build. I like the monocote, but it seems to wrinkle worse in the car than other films. I like a lot of things about the aerocote, but the compound curves suck with it. I have heard people like it for just that reason, but in my experience, it hardens on the edges when you heat it enough to stretch it. I was thinking of using ultracote, but I need to have matching paint for the cowl.
