Parkzone Sukhoi S26m (Red Bull scheme)

[nz builder]

A few weeks ago I won an auction for a PZ Su26m. It was dirt cheap and in ok condition too. I got it back home and replaced the rudder which was more sellotape than depron. I used a takeaway meal tray (butter chicken curry......yum) to fabricate the rudder and filled and sanded until I had a tidy looking plane. I was pretty happy with it except for the lack of color! The red trim didnt do it for me so I decided to do the Red Bull racer finish. I used an airbrush for the paint (acrylics) and Testors decal paper for the all the insignia. The plan now is to get the sim lead for my new Spektrum Dx5e and spend many hours with FMS getting some virtual flying chops before I go to my local paddock. I know this plane is a handful so Im obviously running low rates for now until im more confident.
