3D When is a plane used up?

I like 'em "BIG"!
I have finished the fuse with the exception of the cowl. I am waiting for a new/used cowl from Buttface. UPS seems to be taking their time with it.
I am happy with the scheme I'm doing. It's pretty basic. No curves to cut or templates to make. It's not my best covering job, more of a kinda rush job. I don't expect this plane to last a long time.

I covered the front of the canopy. I was thinking about painting it but it's so big I did not want the extra weight or time in doing it. Should have the wings finished tomorrow and more pics up I hope.
Holy crap...love that. Awesome Randy.

Made some new SFG's for this plane. I like using them. A long time ago I experimented with different ones and found that I like the majority of the SFG to be at the control surface. Plus it's another place to put a decal:too-happy:

The cowl finally arrive so I got a base coat of white on it. I am using two stage paint. Someday I am going to make a small paint booth on the side of my house to keep the bugs off the wet paint:very_angry:
