Further Description/Back Story |
My idea was based off of the full size twin Cub and several of our club members who created a fleet of Kadet Thunderbirds. I modified the paint scheme, (Inverted the colors) to take advantage of the original translucent red covering. I had to make several templates to cut out the accent coverings. Letters, numbers and stars were all cut with a Cricket printer. There is over 100 feet of pinstripe tape applied. |
