Excellent job but I don't understand that gold/brown color of CF on the fuel tank! :shock: :shock:
It was almost black....
May I warn, before it's too late, about the size of numbers fror nose cone? They seem to be clearly too small....

I will check references for nose cone decals

I am using this photo for overall coloring, it is all about picture quality, most do show black but there are not good pictures of the back of monocoque

I am going to use smoke and then clear flat to finish it
