Brad...
Looks kewl! Although, if you ever drag the thing to where there is any vegetation or trees, it will be hard to see. But as a Sixth Simca, you knew that.

Oh, bite my Black Belt!!!
The colors are rather *flat* in Autocad. Have you ever seen any of my planes that are "hard to see"? Come on...
Also, there is no green, so how would it hide?
Very Nice.
Thanks

I think it maybe the plane against that black sky background that makes Rich say that...

Yah...I usually reverse the background to white.
It is really just a guide, but it really helps put on the least amount of paint and mask in the shortest amount of time.
Trim schemes disappearing against a blue sky can be problem. Kind of limits your choices...but I am trying!!!
The other problem with trim schemes...THEY HAVE ALL BEEN DONE it seems. Trim schemes that stand out are HARD without getting into several layers of frisket, paint, ink, sparkles and whatever else. I try to get the most bang for the buck when it comes to painting, and I always go for the Classic look. Too complex makes my head explode when masking, not to mention the risk of pulling paint. This is a risk every time you stick and restick mask.
I think, too, that dark leading edges hurt most that can trim an aeroplane....
If you can build/buy something that doesn't wobble all over the sky, I believe that the it should stand out BIG TIME to the judges....use white, yellar or orange......present a solid, well trimmed model, and you might pick up some points....

On trim schemes, I think that Brett's, while simple, is terrific....it shouls some thought and isn't "busy". I just think the colors should be reversed.
