Nice job - especially for being such a small area to work with! What type of color and clear did you use?

Thank you I actually did it with spray paint. Krylon super max and rustoleum lacquer for the clear.
If you heavily sand the plastic and use a thicker primer layer to hide the scratch marks these paints actually hold really well to the plastic suprisingly.

Hi Guys,

Here are a couple that I just finished. The green one is for a Raptor modeled after a WW2 Supermarine Spitfire. The second is for a T-Rex 600E and is modeled after a WW2 bomber.

Enjoy,

Dan

The gears look like a fine Swiss time piece! Wind it up, and let it go!

That is probably the most unique canopy I've ever seen

Sweet, Id bet there is a community out there that would love the "Frog" theme. Very nice job.

My first attempt. Being a bit color blind (red-green) I re-painted an old canopy with some colors that work better for me.

Used a beat-up canopy, florescent shaker cans, and have a vinyl printer to make stencils for the branding.

I got a lot of tips and inspiration from this thread, so thanks!

My little creation.
I've recently updated it with black letters as they're helping with orientation and full-size KSE landing gear.
