Show us your custom color schemes

[grumman-cats]

Looking to see everyone's custom color schemes. Not interested in any arfs or stock scheme's covered in graphics. Lets see those original schemes that you've put so much effort and pride in. It may inspire others to recover there arfs.
I'll start with my latest, a PAU extra 300. a couple of small mods and total recover.

Another PAU model, this one is their 50cc Edge 540T, I chopped off 14" from each aileron, made the trailing edges nice and sharp, re-hinged all the surfaces getting rid of the bevel gap, put in a DLE 60cc twin that required blisters on the cowling and a chin scoop, and the last big change was the re-cover. All the Red Bull graphics and lettering are hand cut, the only stickies are my name and the Edge 540T on the canopy hatch.

Here's a recover I did about a year ago. It was an old slimmer I converted to electric. So the old slimy covering had to go. Wanted something that really popped and would be easy to see. I don't have a pic handy of the completed plane but you get the idea.

This is my plane and I picked out all the colors. But @BalsaDust get FULL credit for the build, scheme and cover job on this one.

Does this count? The airframe is a bit custom too.

Here are mine, couple of them have my take on a scheme done before or a scale scheme but they were all done by me. All of my planes these pictures are covered with MonoKote. My next 2 projects will be fabric and dope, copying schemes that were scale or done by my gampa.

My PAU/BME 37% Ultimate Bipe, I pulled all the covering off of this one right out of the box and recovered it in my own scheme with Jet White, Orange, Metallic Blue and Silver.

43% J Tec Edge 540 I recovered. The plan was to look like my Ultimate, but I never flew the Edge as it was just to weak and flimsy for me.

The Carl Goldberg Sukhoi I built in 2007. ST 2300 for power covered in Jet White, Missile Red, Metallic Blue and Black pen stripes. Yes the Pen stripes where cut from mono. Still have this airplane, waiting to one day get a DLE 30.

Bob Trueworthy 35% Pitts M-12. Scale scheme in Jet White, Missile Red and Black pen stripes. The bottom of the bottom wing and horizontal tail have individually cut checker boards. Pen stripes on the cowl and wheel pants where painted on.

I copied this scheme for my 81" Lanier Cap 232 but used Jet White, Yellow, Metallic Blue and Silver. I added Blue checker boards to the bottom of the wing and horizontal in the white center.

My grampa's 25% Krier Kraft covered in Sig Koverall and doped. Built back in the early '80s, I am in the process of copying him. Here's the build thread: http://www.giantscalenews.com/threads/25-krier-kraft-build-a-tribute-to-grampa.8443/

Grampa's 1/4 scale Hot Kanary, again covered with Sig Koverall and dope. Copying this will be my next build project once the Krier is finished. Building it for my Dad.

Here is my Wild Hare Edge 540T. My original scheme was the red one but it suffered a small incident and required replacement. I like the scheme so much that I decided to do it in Metallic blue and white on the second airframe. Still flying this today. It has been a great airframe through the years.

Total strip and recover a nitroplanes 33% Yak 54.

 

[HRRC Flyer]

All of these planes loot AWESOME. . . . . . . . I would show one of my planes, but it isn't a Giant Scale and I did not do the recovering.

BTW Doug, yours DOES NOT count. . . . . . .

Mr Tony Russo did this scheme for me on my Dalton.
