    By the way, this is the pic I sent to Callie to make the graphics from, She hit this one out of the park! Dad is in there somewhere. :Thinking:

          Nice pic, I'm going to have to show that to dad. I think his pic was taken in 1968.

            Back in the early 80’s I operated and maintained a huge Xerox copier that used black toner. That stuff would be perfect! If not contained it became airborne and be everywhere on everything! What a mess!!

              lomcevak, your bird looks fantastic and your Dad's reaction makes it really special. Great job!

              Here's what mine looks like after it took a dirt nap (elevator detached from the servo!) All fixed up and looking good! I spent a HUGE amount of time getting it fixed, but it was all cosmetic work, there was no structural damage which was really something. I had to replace the nose cone. And eventually I'll paint it the same color as the plane. Decals by CALLIE GRAPHICS of course!!

                    That's a sweet scheme, well done on both the livery AND repair! Looks as good as new!

                      That is sweet! you done a great job, I don't even see any repairs. That was going to be my go to color scheme if I couldn't figure out how to get the graphics for mine.
                      Nice!

                                      Thanks man! I bought a set of walkway decals from Callie but I decided to give a shot at masking the walkways. Think I’m gonna do the same on the rudder with the red and white.
