EXCELLENT!

Russell Shaffer · « **Reply #2 on:** March 25, 2012, 10:34:15 PM »

Very impressive. I don't see ANYTHING wrong with this airplane. Wow.

Allan Perret · « **Reply #3 on:** March 25, 2012, 10:37:07 PM »

Checks on rudder are really cool.
Is this a Geiseki "Bear" ?

wwwarbird · « **Reply #4 on:** March 25, 2012, 10:40:22 PM »

Looks pretty darn serious. VERY NICE!

PJ Rowland · « **Reply #5 on:** March 25, 2012, 10:42:50 PM »

Are the Ghosted blue checkers on the Wing also? I cannot tell from the photo.

Excellent work - another masterpiece from the Surface of the Moon.

Fantastic buffing work Doug : Its a nice Ode to the original Riff Raff.

Dont see Vortex generators - plans to add them ?

Again - Sensational effort - Love that Cowl.

Very nice, Doug. I have a personal connection with the name, of course, coming from a long line of riffraff.

Doug Moon · « **Reply #7 on:** March 25, 2012, 10:54:38 PM »

It is a Gieseke bear. The larger version with the Geo wing.

The ghost checks are on the nose only. Whew, I couldn't imagine putting the all over. They were so hard to do because the paint is dull prior to clear and they are almost the exact same color so alignment was really difficult. Under flourescent lights at 1 am it all just fades together. I just took the blue and added two drops or silver to create the ghost color. Then I made just five passes with the airbrush on each row as I worked to make sure they were all the same shade so others wouldn't be darker or lighter than others. I contemplated that move for along time before actually doing it. I was nervous about it to say the least.

Thanks for the compliments guys!!

I got the first three flights on it this evening. I think it will be pretty good.

This paint scheme is very near the current Riff Raff scheme they had for 2010-2011. They used black instead of blue though.

Wow! Doug, that plane is stunning to look at. What a beautiful paint scheme over a flawless model. Front row for sure!

PJ Rowland · « **Reply #9 on:** March 26, 2012, 12:02:52 AM »

Still looks amazing - your finest effort I've seen - Well done mate.

" The ghost checks are on the nose only. "

Ohh....... I see.

There must be another word for dissapointing... I will think of it soon enough.

Magnificent job Doug!

(as usual with all your planes...)
Engine?
Is that a Mejzlik prop??? It looks terrific!
Tell us how it flies!

Regards,
Claudio.

Paul Taylor · « **Reply #15 on:** March 26, 2012, 06:25:56 AM »

WOW!!!!!

I'll take it!

Someday I might learn how to pull something like this off.

Randy Powell · « **Reply #16 on:** March 26, 2012, 10:15:44 AM »

Man, I really like that. Claudio should like it since he did a Voodoo that was really cool, too.

Good work, Doug. Go get em.

Bill Little · « **Reply #17 on:** March 26, 2012, 10:17:06 AM »

Looks awesome, Doug! I think it is the best one I have seen from you. And that is a tough call since you have had some very pretty models!

Bill

Zuriel Armstrong · « **Reply #18 on:** March 26, 2012, 12:00:53 PM »

That is GORGEOUS Doug. I need to get back to a Dallas contest and see this fly.

Matt Colan · « **Reply #19 on:** March 26, 2012, 12:14:37 PM »

Pardon my French, but that is bad ass!! Should be a good one Doug!!!!

Steve Helmick · « **Reply #20 on:** March 26, 2012, 12:33:57 PM »

I also like it very much. Your fin/rudder checkers look 1000X better than the emaciated checkers on the real RiffRaff. Power system?

Gene O'Keefe · « **Reply #21 on:** March 26, 2012, 12:57:03 PM »

I'll belly up to the bar and say: you are a much better finisher than I am....VERY NICE MODEL !!!!

Tom Niebuhr · « **Reply #24 on:** March 26, 2012, 03:01:06 PM »

Doug,

Can't say enough about how good that looks. Super effort. If it flies like it looks you will be top 5 or better!

Les McDonald · « **Reply #25 on:** March 26, 2012, 03:43:17 PM »

I gotta join the parade of praise Doug, that is by far one of the most gorgeous ships I've seen, and that covers a LOT of stunt ships! Wow. (I bet you counted the amount of sandpaper you used by the pound instead of by the sheet!)
