...even then; unless the colour photo could be calibrated somehow it would only deepen the flame wars...

Besides, a model always need a bit lighter colours than the original or it will look too dark.

Really great model Craig! thumbsup

The problem with the World is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

All done and dusted, maidened her yesterday and she couldn't wait to get off the ground, 2 clicks of right aileron and she was trimmed and flying pretty much hands off! got in 3 great flights with her before the wind really started to pick up, and am looking forward to many more in the future. i will put up the video link when it my mate posts it, she flys like a dream, and is a joy to build, a real credit to the designer Peter Rake.

Looks great in the air but I can see how easily it would disappear without that red on it, very sharp!

Congratulations Craig! It's a real beauty you've built there!
