    Thanks everyone. Ross, this is somehting I can do while I am at work! The plane is too conspicuous to bring to the office. So the painting the spinner the same colour as the body makes it look longer? I'll have to play with it.

    Anyone who wants to use this scheme, feel free to.

    Looks great, would leave the struts white, I aligned my colors so that the wing tips were solid (red in my case).

    SEXY! I would carry the wing colors onto the flaperons, too. You will have done a lot of masking and painting anyway, you may as well finish it off right! Incidently, here is my paint scheme. Should I leave the tires black or make them orange like everything else?

    I would just continue with the same paint scheme onto the Flaperons. Is the top and the bottom of the wings going to be painted with the same paint scheme, or is the bottom white? Other then the Orange, I really like your paint scheme. My old College rivalries would not allow for the Orange. I would prefer the Kitfox YELLOW over the Orange. It kind of yells at you, I’m here, it would definitely be hard to miss.

    Hey Josh,
    I looked at it yesterday and again today. I think it's a great scheme and you have a good sense of proportion. I would leave the flaperons white as depicted.
