Well, first it came red, then I redid it orange,but it came out oh so ugly. Finally got a scheme on it I like. Just gotta paint the windscreen on it. Sucks not having an airbrush and having to use spray paint.

JeeUm.. these Helio-whats-a-hizzers ever come with Clear canopys?

I used to be the MASTER airbrusher for RC cars, 3D shadowed layers with insane graphics.
(Used to do them for all the big boys.)

Still have my Iawada Airbrush and all. (even 100+ colors of paint. BUT.. and this is a big BUT..
I learned to paint from the inside (of clear lexan bodies..), so my thinking when painting is backwards,

But if you ever find a clear body... I'll KILL it for ya!!

Actually the stock canopies on most are made out of the same plastic as bleach bottle. It's a bitch to get anything to stick to it. The one above is an aftermarket fiberglass canopy. Want to see some really nice ones? Check out www.arizonaheli.com That guy is so busy he is backed up until April. I'm gonna be working with Eric at B&E on doing those printed wraps for the stock canopies.

That looks 110% better than the last attempt. Do you have any of that yellow left over, I want to do the fins on the raptor to match the canopy you painted.
