To keep in line with my "cheesy" touring car paint jobs, here is my Cap'n Crunch body:





It was fun. I'm thinking of doing a Tom and Jerry body next...?

I finally got around to building the CEN CT4R touring car kit I was given. Looking through my collection of clear bodies I found a 200mm TC body to paint but for the life of me I could not think of a fun theme. The following day at work I went on break and decided to raid the vending machine... guess what caught my eye? My favorite snack food!

After a couple test panels to figure out how I wanted to render the Cheez-Its I ended up with this awesome body:




I didn't do enough Cheez-Its so it kinda looks like a soup of Cheez-Its ... but no ones perfect :)

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.
