I am a builder and competitor of giant scale. My current project is a 1/5 scale F-G1 powered with a Pegasus 9 cylinder radial. I'm going off the grid with this one and fell in love with "lucky gallon" race 92. She was flown in the 46 Thompson trophy by Cook Cleland. Can anyone out there help me with the actual color used and paint scheme. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Jim,
Sounds like a great project! I too am an r/c modeler and would give my right arm for one of the big radials. Unfortunately they are a bit out of the budget right now. I do a lot of custom detail work for other builders and one of my primary projects right now is a full cockpit for a customer's CompARF Corsair. This is his "dream" project and we are going all out with the detail. He has a supercharged 9-cylinder radial for his bird which, if I remember correctly, he said was one of only fourteen that were made. Is that the Pegasus per chance? Anyway, best of luck with your bird and be sure to post some pictures of it.
Regards,
