Aww, you don't need no 3 view - try the Zen method. Just place your covered but unpainted model where you can see it while you are watching TV, doing bills, framing up your next world beater etc. Keep glancing over its way and sooner or later it will tell you how it wishes to be painted.
Of course browsing through old issues of Stunt News, a possible trip to the local general aviation airport, or even perusing through custom car, boat and hot road magazines may expedite that inspirational moment.
