red and blue is the coolest , but yellow and red could be good too, instead of the purple.

With that said
It is one of the nicest Schemes I have seen, and very functional for IMAC.
We are building are first 40% kit and trying to achieve the very best looking and flying plane we can build. Maybe we will run into Dave this summer and get to show it to him in person.

Mike,

I'm just having some fun with you- no problems here! I would be very proud to see it duplicated. In fact, I can send you the pdf's of the scheme if you want. Like you, I did a bunch of different colors.

Yes, I hope we do run into each other this season. Would love to see some pics once it's done- just don't make it look better than mine!

Dave

Thank's Dave
Here's a quick look. We're not done yet !
Not bad for just getting the kit two weeks ago.
I will post more when it is done.

Holy cow! Did you take the two weeks off and build full time after you got the kit?

Hey, looking good- I get to see what mine will look like now!

Either of them look pretty good to me. Personally I see the Red pretty well in the air, but Yellow stands out pretty well also.
How about (on the yellow one) change the white to yellow, change the yellow to red?
Also, the top of the vert stab in checker board makes me wonder about it washing out on overcast days, make it harder to tell what up is. Did not used to say stuff like that 10 years ago----aaaarrrrgggg!
Really, they both look good

I am glad you went with the metallic blue and red... flows real nice and looks more expensive.
