Oh yea! Definitely.

Jeff, would you be able to shoot it from a little lower and place it on a richly colored green background - a tarp or a blanket. Even grey should work so long as it's not a color that's on the plane. Uniform surface is best - a nice patch of concrete or some such. It will make for a nicer background "pull".

Oh, and maybe gear up supported under the wing on your painting stand (we shouldn't see it right adjacent to the model)?

Then again, Greg's doing the heavy lifting...
