Yea If the gray one is my only choise then I think I would swap out the orange for yellow. Just to have it a little different.

I think bright pink and metallic purple would work great 8-)

Annnnnd if I read the ad right, the "grey" one is uncovered completely

Not new, but got a new canopy and cockpit for the new V3 and it's a much better fit than the stock one. I kept it simple by just painting the tub a nice yellow. I mean, it is a sport jet so why not make it look cool. Once it's all glued, I'll mask off the canopy and paint the frame gloss black to finish it.

Masked, painted, and unmasked. Looks pretty good.
Time to reinstall the turbine equipment. Might get a day yet to go flying...

Thanks, but not this time. It's all glued up so no pilots in this one....maybe the next one.. [smiley=wink.gif]

Turbine and equipment back into the jet. Canopy is held on by same method Mark and Al used, by wire located at the nose. Now ready to go once again.

Nice Layout!!

Wow Dan,
Way too Cool, 8-)
Do you have a parts layout schematic made , as well...Just in case? ;)

What's the single air valve and servo for, the brakes? :-?

What do you think of the colour scheme, Vis a Vis visability, as my A29B is grey also? :-?

Your grey Tucano is going to be challenge, that's for sure. I always liked the Tucano, and I have one kit to build over the winter. This one will be electric... Think DL Areomodels.

Mine has the yellow booms and wings, so it easy to see.
Laying out the gear plate is probably one of the best part of the build. The single valve is for the brakes.
