Don,
What really doesn't show in the pictures is, the clearcoat on this plane (catalyzed polyurethane) had a LOT of alabaster pearl in it. It was wierd flying it in the sun. There the plane would be then as it went through a loop, it would hit the sun and turn silver all over. Then fly through and be back to the colors you see again. Interesting effect (though it make it kinda werid to fly until I got used to the effect).
