Cool concept!

What size red maple leafs are you wanting? I might have enough red vinyl to chop out a pair.... and send them to Noo Yawk, LOL!

Thanks Mike.I haven't decided how I'm going to do the maple leaf.I know the one that goes on top where the points are will be just a natural leaf . But the one on the sides I think I might distort it.The leaf wide at the bottom and thinner at the top ,Like it's going away from you.I just got a interesting comment from a Canadian forum that if real Avro Arrow enthusiast saw my paint scheme they would basically give me poopie for painting it the way I did.He said the dayglow orange is not the same.I told him it's hard to find Dayglo orange in spray cans.I know the picture I posted looks red but it is a orange color. You know how real dragsters are painted ,Crazy designs.All I did was split the orange and black and put in the Canadian flag design.What ever I like it.Thanks.

Hi, Welcome to the forum. I haven't touched it in about 4 years. I had a problem with the gears not meshing properly (Raco gearbox). I know the problem but haven't got around to fixing it. It is finished and I thought I posted the pics, I guess not. lol.
