So.... like the orange isn't visible enough.....it needs stripes. Yipes!!! Not for me lol but whatever trips yer trigger.

Doc I normally do scale inspired schemes, and nearly all of my airplanes are red and white with blue on the bottom as I can see those colors. But I had these two rolls and some scraps of this orange laying around from my big Harley Sukhoi Project a couple years ago so I thought I would use them. I haven't striped it yet, I could also Cheetah spot it!

The Bell X1 was solid orange with just stars and bars on it though.... that might look good too?

Then I could take this to warbird events! LOL

No time in the shop till today. Ultra Hots is now an ARF waiting on vinyl trim

 

[Doc]

Wow I can see it now!! It looks different with the exaggerated control surfaces, ought to be a 3D demon.

ARF'ed up and I finally went with my original idea. It was either this the General Lee or the Bell X1

 

[Doc]

Like Tony the Tiger says its grrrrreeat!

Thanks it's just vinyl if I decide to change it.

Great thread and build. Don't know how I missed it up until this point but nothing wrong with a relaxing full build thread read and a cup of coffee on a quiet morning.
