Charles,
Yes, I understand I can't use the vinyl as structural covering. You may remember the Streaky looking Skyray I built a few years ago that has a similar look and may give you a rough idea of what the Cardinal will look like if you just think dark metallic blue and chrome. This was my first purpose built stunter for my entry into Intermediate.
Rusty,
You know I have you to blame for my rattle can finishes. A hard sell but I took your advice and EVERY model I've built, plus the ones yet to be finished, will have rattle can paint someplace. It's an easy road and you can get a great finish.
I think of you every time I buy a can. So thank you for that.
Wow! You still have this model? Nice.
OK. I'll think dark metallic blue and chrome. I'm thinking...........I'm still thinking.
I'm thinking a color would be missing. I'm thinking three colors to really make the model pop. And the third color cannot butt up to the chrome. Must leave a space of dark metallic blue.
I would use a pastel most any pastel color would work, even a light blue.
I go to the paint store and get color chips. I spread them out. Easier to decide.
BAM! three colors and it'll pop.
Got any designs on paper?
Charles
