Let's see what you are doing. Post a picture of your latest racer. Paint, monocoat or vinyl. Let's see what good work is going on in racing. If painted in the mold did you do it yourself.
There are many of you decorating your own models and should be proud. Post a pic and discribe what you did and what materials are used.

I forgot. About 18 hours from start to finish not including prep.
There are a lot of talented guys we race with. Show your stuff.

Looks Great Tom!

My brother and I have been messing with Monokote for over 30 years. I used to do a lot of checkers and stripes, but over the last few years, I have gone the other way.....trying to make it look like paint with light colors, and very few (if any) graphics. While my brother Kevin, has really stepped it up. Here are the airplanes we took to Winter-fest:

Ready for Phoenix Classic!

BC Ashley's.
Built, assembled and painted by Thordarson Racing Inc.

All he asked for was a blank signed check!

Looks good although it will be hard to fly them that way.

Yellow is a personal favorite color of mine. :D

The red paint is CMAD in the mold. All I did was hydro dip the wing tips and tail and trim in 2 mil vinyl .
