Default RE: stick plane for clear covering

Crash one guy in our club covered an old timer SAM model...I believe it was a Weatherly Westerner in clear. However what made it very neat is only half the model was clear. He seemed it right down the middle. So the entire left side was clear and the entire right side was a typical covering method. It was very well done and actually very attractive. There is some food for thought. The picture is my 1928 Airtrails Sportser in a semi transparent covering. This has been recovered the original covering was almost all transparent. Any of the old timer style stick built aircraft would look good in a clear skin.
