Default Covering question

I'm getting a Super Skybolt pretty soon and I was wondering about some graphics.. If they would be possible and how much it would cost..
I would want the plane to be covered in white and the guns in black covering the whole entire plane.


PEACE!

You could have a graphic sign company cut them out of vinyl for you, but I'd hate to think of how much it would cost

No idea on getting those guns all over the plane (pretty sure I wouldn't do it, but that's just me), but having built a skybolt and covered it in black with some red stripes on the top & sides I can recommend you do something bold underneath to make it easy to tell top from bottom in the air. When they're flying these planes are hard to spot the difference between right way up and up side down in a single colour. I ended up putting two large "spades" (as in ace of spades) in white under the bottom wing as a visual cue.

I think having that look would be extremely sick!

Is that sick as in "good", or sick as in "nauseous"?

Way good! No one else out there has that kind of paint scheme.. So I would be the first. And look at it, it couldn't get any better!

It would certainly be unique.

This would cost more than the entire model and in the air all your going to see is gray.
On the ground it would impress the heck outa people, NOT, but then that must be the point right! I'll bet your into tattoos & body piercings to.

No and you know why? Because I'm not a single minded idiot like apparently you are. So seeing that you are from Utah, why don't you go back to reading your Book of Mormon and take your conservative idiot values elsewhere!

Why can't any one answer my question? Would it be possible to cut it out as a pattern then spray paint it on with that Monokote spray?

Well you partly right. I do have more than 1 wife, just not at the same time. I'm not mormon and if you want to decorate your model like that go ahead and knock yourself out. Your not going to find anyplace that will do it for you even if you could afford it. Guess your just gonna have to do it yerself.
