Any advice on how/where I can source this from?   $%&
I know I'm getting a bit ahead of myself, but I reckon I should be sorting this one out sooner rather than later.
Having chosen a nice stripey fus pattern (Josef Mai, Jasta 5) a bit of research tells me that I need to have four colour lozenge pattern on the wings. I don't fancy painting it on as per the Pat Cuss stencil method:
a. Because this project seriously over-running as it is, and
b. I need to keep the weight down and
c. I'm too idle
I am also confused by the apparent difference in hues (one of my favourite words) between the lozenge colours on the top and bottom surfaces of each wing. I don't see any mention of this from suppliers, so is it just me or am I not looking in the right places?
I would be most grateful for the panel's guidance!

Thanks,
Nick

Hi Si!
You know that photo you've posted of yours pointing to the right on that runway before you started covering it?
Well, it's a bit like that, only pointing to the left, and a lot rougher.
But I'll take some photos when the sun reappears if you don't believe me....

For a quick way out what about the BUSA 4 colour loz in 1/3rd scale solartex . They do top and bottom colours. Tis not cheap but very quick and easy. An afternoon and a set of lozenge covered wings is done.
Nice and light, just seal up with something to preserve it .

Thanks Si, that looks like the sort of thing!
And 'quick' and 'easy' are two more of my favourite words.
And if I tell the boss it's just some expensive wrapping paper she doesn't have to know it's for wrapping up my plane!
