Just a little update - I have been sorting the decals for the new paint scheme which was mentioned in the PS mag feature!
Mister Donut - is the scheme I am replicating - Its not that common a scheme and I've not seen it on any NC30's before.
While looking in MCN classifieds this week I noticed that they have the Horipro Rep NC30 in there for sale - I know this is probably the only one that has been done on an NC30, but I didn't want to copy someone elses work!
Anyway, most of the decals are on their way to me now - I just have to sort out the main large graphic for the side. Once I get them all together they'll be ready to go on the panels.
However the panels aren't yet ready! I'm still in the process of prepairing them, sorting any cracks or broken lugs along the way. I have just got a lower and top fairing to go. So I'm getting there. The top fairing does seem to have the most damage though.
I'm glad I'm making progress on this again now - I kinda reached a point where it seemed so far off, but with a bit of effort it will be done.
