Tiger colour scheme
I have a super sportster 40 that is Red with russian stars on...but its hard to see in flight.
I had seen an article ages ago about some one with an F20 tigershark that made it look like a tiger shark with teeth and stripes and wonder if you guys can help me find a picture of one or some ideas on what to do with my plane to make it more visible
have included a pic ..
thanks Kiwi Pete

RE: Tiger colour scheme
Ultracote black stripes over Monocote orange. Hand cut the stripes and ironed on every one of the buggers. Only took a few evenings.

RE: Tiger colour scheme
hey thanks alot guys for all the input!
I decided in the end that with a base covering of red I couldnt really do the tiger theme...
So I put a big white sunburst on the top wing and as the plane is yellow underneath I added black 1.5 inch squares to the wing...didnt get the sheeting just hand cut the squares from solar trim and it looks great.
just need something for the fuse sides and its done - certainly a lot more visible and with a different size prop hopefully a bit slower too...god its faaaaaast!
might put one of those crash test dummy logos on the side...
