Slow but sure
Front deck. Might run a red stripe down the side to break up the silver.

Wow took me about 4 hrs. to draw, the template for the stripe cut it then trace and cut the ultrcote then apply the stripe, still need to remove a few bubbles, not totally satisfied but it will work.

Started covering the wing. Stripes are on the bottom obviously,there will be some kind of red on the top just not sure yet. Dont think I will ever use silver again seems harder to work with than any other color I have used and very unforgiving.
