:lol: Not quite Kevin, I told her not to touch it because it was very sharp, but she decided she needed to find out if I was telling the truth, kids!!

Well that's me done for! However, if you need any help matching your cowl respray colour only happy too. :lol:

Just hope that your RC Colours are a better match than mine were. Of course quoting Chris, "it don't matter, no-one is going to see any mismatches when it is in the air"

I've heard of people shooting themselves in thr foot, but, stabbing? Actually, welcome to the club, had the same problem a few weeks ago. Ruined a good pair of socks.

Appreciate the offer of help Phil, I have a plan on colour if I can't match the yellow

Unlike Chris, I have standards though

Cut the first bit of yellow and it's bl**dy semi transparent!! Purchased online from RC World, just checked the invoice to find they have sent Oralight Opaque, checked their website to find they do the same colour in Oralight and standard Oracover. Not sure if they have made a mistake or I ordered the wrong one, email sent, but it has held me up.

Well, predictably it turned out it was my fault, I ordered the wrong type

Thumbs up to RC World though, having confirmed it was me, they offered to send me the correct type post free, fair play to them, hence I will be using them again.

Clearly Chris001 Jon is referring to

Of course, Chris's 001 is renowned for his slap dash building

I work on the principle that if the smallest measurement my calipers will measure is 0.01mm then that is what I will work to.

Anyway back to your film covering, are you admitting that you are fallible?

I had to read that through several times to make sure I'd read it correctly

I'm surprised you didn't think to try the Hobby King film :evil:

All the best, and hope your foot is healing well,
Gromit

I have been wrong before Chris, just can't remember when

Foot isn't throbbing as much now thanks!

Won't be changing my mind on the scheme for mine but just come across this brand new Red Bull Air Race scheme on an MXSR

Pseudo rusty warbird Brietling scheme, love it!!
