KK,

I just applied packaging tape, rubbed it down so it stuck to the paint well and then removed it. Voila! One one blue piece of packaging tape and a 2" wide white strip of white foam on the airframe.

Repeat until entire airframe is bare. It took less than half an hour.

Just the instrument panel to go now:

Now the pilot has some instruments we can go flying.

The instrument panel is a lamination of 3 layers of plastic card. The first is has the instrument stickers attached:

The next layer is thin clear to simulate the glass over the instruments, the final layer is the panel with the holes.

now all we need are some Stars n Bars

With good reasons:

* Me as the pilot
* Steve (the mid-air maniac) may be in the air at the same time
