I haven't figured out the cowling yet, but a collage of #*%^ #%~#% would be the most realistic!

The minimum number of planes one should own is one. The correct number is n+1, where n is the number of planes currently owned. This equation may also be re-written as s-1, where s is the number of planes owned that would result in separation from your partner.

try to introduce some color as well...
interesting idea... though it will look plain white from a short distance away; you might consider adding some strategic color to carry the theme from a distance, perhaps by introducing some sections with the 'blue' protective film color and the pink cowling... perhaps even some cardboard box with the 'fragile high dollar aircraft parts handle with care' from the tail kit... heck even add some duct tape and a shipping label... all painted on of course

Most original paint scheme for an RV I have seen in years Rob - I really love the concept - and the execution looks fabulous!

That will look great! I can't wait to see it in person.
I had thought of having my airbrushed so it looked like the blue plastic was still on it with the plastic removed for the rivet lines. So it would look like this, only in flying condition:

Really cool! You might want to consider building the 10, 20, 40 deg lines into the flap graphics (because after year you will have black wear lines there anyways).

Very Original!
I think that is extremely clever. Certainly one of the most original ideas I've seen. And it will look pretty cool. Its kind of like wrapping fish and chips in newspaper
The fuselage sides could have the drawings that show all the inside structure.
The cowl could have the cut-away view of the engine with all the systems shown (fuel lines, oil lines, cooler, carburation, etc) that looks like the finishing kit drawings.
Probably getting carried away here, but a few drops of red paint in particular areas where we've all shed blood would be cool. Like outlines of the gear towers on the -8.

Innovative!
Science meets art. Cool!
Even this guy who bought his RV already flying likes it. Plus, it'll help the next owner if they haven't built an RV (like me). Ha!
