    Looks sharp. I got my clear body last month but not sure what color I want to paint it yet. I'm thinking white also so it matches my other RCs.

    Thanks guys. I wanted to put some black in there but couldn't figure out how I wanted to do it. So I left it out. I think it turned out well.

    Looks great. I'm actually painting one now and it's turning into a nightmare. Bought an airbrush that turned out to be not so good. Bugs in the paint. Just a mess.

    I'd like to learn how to airbrush too, but really don't have the time. Had a friend of mine take a pic with his expensive camera. Looks really good. Check it out.

    Wow! Totally not expecting that colour combo waiting for pics to load. I like it good job! Also glad to see that the body plastic looks very clear! In other words good for cams in car. With your body, 4 onboard cams looking 4 directions or one on a swivel for 360degree views at speed!! Perfect setup for the first FPV XO-1.

    That looks really good, you did a great job. I think the clear parts would also look good it they were smoked out some, like they were tinted.

    Thanks for the compliment. That stripe looks pretty good. I'm terrible with taping off the bodies, so I didn't try to add anymore to it. I need some brush on masking or something. Oh and a steady hand. lol
