I hear you on the camo, but with a big parachute it should be be too hard to find back. Maybe switching to a bright color chute will be the answer.
Completed the paint job today. Whew.

I have a vinyl plotter. But the curves are what make me paint it. I think it turned out okay. It took a while, and a lot of tape. Haha.

My A4b/A9 conversion of the Estes V2 took about 5 or 5.5 hours of painting and masking at a high rate of speed to get the splinter camo on it. Lots of post it notes and fine line tape. Without the wings I think I could do it in about 3.5 or 4 hours.
No worries about thus camo model getting lost as the A4b is an RC boost glider and lands near me....
Heres an Image I found that would making a vinyl version much easier, even if just to cut the individual colors and apply over a base color. Not sure how much easier it would be, probably still would be a lot of work. However the image could be used for a pattern and hand cutting the vinyl.

The paint job came out great. I think the biggest problem with a vinyl wrap would be if the proportions are off even minutely it would be a nightmare.
You also have the best avitar on TRF.
What motor works best in this guy? Not looking for max height.
