Custom paint?

Post by flayrah » Tue Oct 10, 2006 4:55 pm

Just saw this on e-bay:

should the paint lines on the actual aircraft be as uneven as this, or is that a mistake on the part of the customizer?

I'm not 100% sure (maybe 98% :lol: ), but I believe the actual plane looked just like that. They were painted to look like tiger stripes. I guess if the lines were perfectly straight they would look like bumblebees.

That would be one scary fast bee. :shock:
