Very very cool covering Job. Looks just like Billy Hell's GeeWhizBee
I like those flames ! What type of covering is it, and what was your method of cutting those flames out ?

Nice job! A PQHOR has put my Knife on hold, BUT when it gets done my scheme will be similar except for lime green flames over trans purple. It's my girls school colors.

It looks great and I like the white instead of pearl. There is something about that scheme that just smells right.

Thanks for the replies guyss!

Yes billy's gee bee whiz was an inspiration! For flames i drawed them on some green bar paper and then cut them out. Then traced that on the monokote. For the Monokote+Monokote part i used the windex method, and iron for the bare wood part thats with one sheet of monokote only. So i used the 2 methods on one piece of monokote . I'm using an OS FX .46 with a 11.5X4 APC propeller..I have a moose can pipe arround so i think i'll use that soon...and flaperon mixing...gonna try and use spoilerons soon for harriers.

Right now i haven't put anything on the bottom its half white. i was thinking on cutting ut 2X2 squares and doing a checkerboard. But i still cant decide. I was hoping that the flames on top could be used to distinguish the bottom and the upper part but that isn't very efective..thought about doing some kind of lettering like 3D in flames but i think i'll have to use some photoshop to do the lettering and then cut it out. Any ideas!??
