OK, so it's not a zebra but it does have lots of black and white stripes!
Start time - some time tomorrow morning after the ironing is done.

Re: Ians Zebra
Hey, it's great to see you back Ian. It's always good to see a blitzer doing a boat but those stripes are likely to send you barking. Best of luck with it!

Re: Ians Zebra
nice choice, do the stripes come on decals or is it a case of mask and paint

Re: Ians Zebra

Re: Ians Zebra
Dirk, no decals. I have to cut my own masking from Tamiya tape. There's no way I would attempt that scheme free-hand!
I am planning on launching at some point between 10:00 and 11:00 ZULU.

Re: Ians Zebra
It's my day off tomorrow so I'll try to get my lazy backside out of bed to see the start. 1000 to 1100 Zulus eh? That's a lot. I don't fancy my chances but I'll give 'em hell.

Re: Ians Zebra
Mark, it's definitely one or the other. I've been into the loft and pulled out the black and white rattle cans. I've organised what paints I need. Just need the little Ian to finish his homework then I can get the dining table sorted out ready for the morning. No need to worry about the ironing now as I did it earlier. I just hope tomorrow is not wet as I'll need to spray in the garden. I also hope not to run out of masking tape.
As for the madness, Splash, I am slowly getting better!

Re: Ians Zebra
That paint scheme is gonna need some prior planning and preparation to prevent a poor performance. Good luck.
