Thanks Claude and Robert for your comments. I went back to my old colors in hopes I can see this one in the air better than the red plane I'm flying now.

Kaos2,

Seaming the fuselage involves bolting the molds together then laying seam tape over the seams. I wet out the tape first, then drag it through the fuselage, position it, then press it down. Works real good and makes the seam job go pretty fast.

Laying a whole fuselage in carbon would be really expensive. Carbon is about $90 a yard for the weights we use in modeling. So, we find ways to make laminates that are strong, light, and cost effective. There are several option being used, one just needs to find what works for them.
