Don't do it...:shock:

I would guess it could fetch at least $100...

I would say it's about $120.00. I am not sure I would repaint that one unless it's a spare or unless you hate the scheme. The D-9's schemes are all mostly the same with only subtle differences for the most part. The Red 3 always stood out to me (in a good way).

But- that's just me.

The Red 3 is the only one I have. I love that plane. It’s one of my personal favorites since it’s not the normal scheme. In the end it’s up to you but i wouldn't do it. I would hold out for something else or a duplicate.

Well I have never looked it over fully... but there are a few imperfections, glu finger print, 3 paint smuges. So I might repaint it and someday go for a nice red 3!!! Because we all love the red 3! :wink:

Well that’s the beauty of it being your plane. You can do whatever makes ya happy. It’s not like taking a 54 BelAir and making a lawn planter out of it. There’s always another one someplace. :wink:
