Here are a couple of pictures of my latest scratch build, called "Xpress Delivery".

It flies on a D12, weighs 125g (without chute, motor), is 29" long. It is painted in a spicy Italian tomatoe red, with four cheese and peperoni fins.

It has yet to be flown, but promises to be... Magnifico!

Enjoy

That looks like great fun. Where did you get the graphics for the fins?

Thanks to everyone for all the tasteful comments and saucy food related puns, a true feast for the senses.

I created the graphics for the fins using a picture of a cheese pizza slice, modifying it with various filters in PaintShop Pro and then added the pepperoni seperately. I then printed it on a self-adhesive label and folded over the fin. (see image attached)

Hope this answers your question.
