Default RE: Question about blue Monokote

The open bays of the wings are transparent blue. The leading and trailing edges and solid area are insignia blue. The vertical and horizontal stabilizers are insignia blue and the rudder/elevator as well as the top of the fuselage are black.

It is a restoration of a thirty year old airplane built from Stream Aircraft kit.

This photo is my most recent completion a Telemaster that I happened to do in the same colors
The open bays of the wing are blue transparent and black leading edges and so forth. The after fuselage is transparent with black forward. Horizontal stab is transparent but the solid vertical stab is insignia blue as well as the forward nacelles top hatchs.

You will not find a perfect color match anywhere between an opaque and a transparent. The trick is to choose what appeals to you and/or use a constrasting color.

I would love to find a transparent black (Oxy-moron huh, OK call it transparent smoke) but sorry to say no one makes it.
