Planning to do a variation on this scheme for simplicity, yellow on the top, black on the bottom with lettering care of Mike and his vinyl cutter :)

Clean n Simple Jon.... ;) Great news too. Those fonts are Times New Roman I would suggest.

Yellow = Cub yellow? Blue = dark blue (52)?

I'm afraid your reputation as the go to paint colour guy is now in tatters, 0 out of 3 including font ID :lol:

Cadmium yellow, black not blue and font is Copperplate Gothic Bold B)

Frustrating problem :angry:

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. :(

I am getting on with the black, but ideally would have wanted to do the yellow first for the overlaps where the black may show through the yellow.

Already done both wings and ailerons, still got the underside of tail and fuz, will then have to get on with rubbing down the cowl as it needs to be resprayed.
