yep, went with the stock head rest. I know RCKen carved his out of balsa so he could cover it, but that just seemed like WAY too much work for me. Also, covering curves like that is more work than it is worth in my opinion. I have been pretty lucky with finding rattle-cans at home depot and lowes that match ultracoat almost perfectly. Painting is so much easier! I'd actually be willing to have a color custom mixed to get it to look right...I'll post some pictures when the fuselage is covered and then you can get an idea of the color difference (or lack thereof) between the paint and UC.
