I love the pictures. Did you use vinyl wrap for the colors or something else?
Tx for the compliment.
Ending the build I searched for a paintsceme that leaves as much rivets as possible (but yet covered all epoxy): painting the whole craft would certainly loose that effect.
Once in an art museum I heard a little girl ask her mother 'mama why does this painter need so much room for so little paint?'
(that was my problem as well!)
I looked around an it appeared to be a Mondriaan https://www.mijnnieuweschilderij.nl/mondriaan-compositie-met-rood-geel-blauw-en-zwart/
Looked in the database and callsign PH-MON was still free...
Now she's called Piet ('cause Mondriaan named that way) but actually Pietronella, for I believe planes are merely female.
Paint just rolled with 4 rollers and latex paint.
The stripes were electriciy tape at first, but actually they came off. I replaced them with wrap cut in 1" stripes, some 150 hours ago.
Piece of cake.
And light!! I used quite little KG's paint.
And it does look ok - everywhere we fly we do steel the show...;-)
any corralation or memory is fine - as long as it's a positive one ;-))
