Default color scheme

hello,
I am trying to decide how I should go about airbrushing my depron foamie. I need a simple but effective (easy to see) color scheme. I am not that good with an airbrush and I can't freehand it, I need a pre-fabricated scheme. Anyway, if anyone knows a good website or something with schemes that would be great.
By the way it is an Extra 300, I would like it if it looks Extra-ish.

Also, does anyone know what kind of paint I should use? Will acrylics melt the depron?

Thanks!!

On the top bar of this page, click on RC COMMUNITY / VIDEO & PHOTOS / PHOTO GALLERY, then select AIRPLANES and type EXTRA.

There you can see many pictures of members' extras that will give you good ideas.

I don't know for sure, but I believe any water based paint will be safe for depron.

For visiblity, I think yellow/white combo stripes on top, black/white checkerboard on the bottom. Hard to mix those up. I do really like this one that lnewqban put up a link to - very sporty!
