Tetris Canopy and a Few Others

Time for a new post :) I have been busy airbrushing recently and here is what I have come up with:
My favorite so far, the Tetris canopy. Silver base, candy colors, black and white for tints/shades. Made extensive use of my vinyl cutter, total time including a test panel was around 6 - 7 hours.


The colors on this canopy are all candies on top of a silver base. The red and orange were marbleized, this was my first attempt doing that. I like how it turned out. While not obvious in the photo, the marbleized candy red looks like blood spatter / pooling on concrete!

This canopy was a redo of the smaller 450-size canopy I did a while ago. I added two blue stripes and put an Airtronics logo in the windshield area. I'm thinking the blues don't mix well with the rest of the colors, perhaps reds would have been better...


This last one I painted a little while ago. It was kind of rushed and it too is a redo of a previous canopy I did. The original canopy was also for the Raptor but it died a horrible death when I forgot to check my receiver pack and it flatlined on my fourth flight of the day. On a positive note the canopy was the most expensive piece that got damaged during the "chicken dance" that ensued.
