Nice job!! Very patriotic...I can see strapping some Roman candels on that and running it up and down the street on the 4th. We'd want video of course. ??

I'd love to get a body done up with the Gadsden flag. I just picked up a really nice one to fly off the back porch. I think it would look awesome on an RC body.

You might be able to find a reverse sticker that will fit inside the body. Or, xxxmain picture glue (might be very similar to elmer's glue) would allow a cutout to be glued inside the body and then paint like normal.

That is gorgeous! Excellent work! I just finished my first attempt to be patriotic for summer but yours is FAR better. And I screwed up and didn't use an Arrma sorry

I've got to say that looks amazing! May I ask how you masked out the stars? Very beautiful work!!!

Perfect to bash on this 4th of July!

Looks great and with all the contrasting color combinations visibility at a distance is probably great also.

thanks man
I was shooting for more over spray than the clean lines.
to do the stars I hand drawn a star on cardboard to cut out as a stencil, not a perfect star btw. stuck a 'wall' of painters tape on a cutting board, did this by over lapping the tape then used my star stencil to make out my stars then cut out and placed them on the body. painted blue first, then did my red lines and white over the entire body. bourbon assited in the process.

I have this paint mask and am testing it today. The stars are smaller than the design OP made but easy to use. My test is very simple but will see how it turns out.

Thanks man that's a really cool idea.
