Umm, didn't the us army air core use that color scheme? I think the Brits were the first to use the tiger's mouth too.

I think that "tiger's mouth" would be found swimming in the ocean.

Thanks for the comments. For the curiuos here's some details. LA 46, OS #22311000 FP needle valve, 4 oz. uniflow on pressure(for now), Flap to elev. rod one piece 4-40 with ball joints, stock ca hinges but used Bob Smith Insta Flex ca and highly recommend it, landing gear was wet sanded and pollished. At first, I tried to shrink the whoknowswhatkote on the fuse, under the stab, there is a 1"x10" (approx)open bay, The whatchamakote was crushing this area. I installed three balsa braces after tearing the stuff off. The fuse was recovered with "Neon Blue" Monokote. the mouth, stripes etc. are all Monokote. I used a Woodpecker and a hot socked iron to apply them. It will soon have Dave Brown electra lite wheels and hopefully a Scott Dinger tube muffler. It killed me to turn loose of it. I built it for my flyin' buddy, Jack. He says I get to fly it first though.
