Nothing like decals to dress up a model

Well Roger, looks like your the only one out of many. Maybe I overdid it a bit.

donno bob... its a good looking plane. well finished. what model is it? interesting design on the tail

I was going to say, may have been a tad better to trim the McCoy stickers, but you already mentioned it. Other than that it looks super sharp. I especially like the landing gear fairings. If you're afraid they will fall off, you can always secure them with some yellow thread on the top and bottom.

That's a good looking model, it was already before the decals but the decals dress it up very nice. I don't think it's excessive at all. And the cowling looks perfect

Were the red and blue graphics part of the kit or did you design them?

Thanks guys,  It's a Walt Musciano design of many years ago called a Cyclone.  One of the first, maybe the first kit (Scientific) I built and flew with a Space Bug Jr.  Black Hawk models has revived it.

The more I think about it, I believe that it's the one that got off the lines flew away and is now somewhere in the woods of New Hampshire.  I actually got in my car and chased it as it circled away.  

I got the decals through ebay, 1/24 - 1/32 scale I believe.  I did a search for aviation oriented decals but found none in that scale, these are model car decals.

I'm a little worried about how it will fly. The kit has no provisions for a rudder, only a tip weight. I built no offset into the engine as the plans didn't call for it.

Bob I really like the way that hollowed log looks I have this kit and need to get off the chair and get with it for fly your log day   Dive Bomber Baby !!

It turned out really well Bob, I hope it's everything you remembered!

I think you should keep the SBJ on the nose for nostalgia sake.

yea you may want to add some engine offset to bee safe. you can always make your own decals with the waterslide printer paper that's available.
