I've seen Gator's Spinsation with the tear aways, but need a slightly different technique, I think.

The Chamblis Edge (yellow and black one) had tear aways thar began in the black leading edge, and then continued into the yellow center section of the wing. Gator's Spin had a checkered tear away with a gray border. The Chamblis version looked to have a yellow border and was airbrushed to give the 3D effect. I need a 2D solution.

So, help out a zero talent Bro with a few suggestions on how to get the same effect with no airbrush.

Maybe do the gray border on the yellow part, and a yellow border on the black? I'm confusing myself now...

I've got the ones I did for my foamies. You could try scaling them up and printing on clear adhesive, then spraying a clear coat on them.

No guarantees, but might be worth a shot. Might look like crap, too :lol:

Here's the motor so you can see. Was sized for a foamy. If you want I could round them all up and send them to you in a zip file.

Here was the side globe. These might not scale up well enough for you, or they might.

I did that type of thing on my TT tiger. I used ultracote cub yellow, darkblue, and the red/white checkers on the bottom as a base (I used the big ones from ultacote that comes on a regular roll, think they are 2" :?: ). I then use 1/2" mono trim w/ the red/white checkers with black and the carbon like stuff from ultra as the stuff around the edges to make it look like tear away. I'll see if I can get you some pics. The plane is no longer (as is most .40 sized planes w/ .91 4-strokes

)

the illusion here is that the black and yellow paint are peeling back (FROM 3DING YOUR PAINTJOB OFF!) revealing the checkers underneath. so you need a few colors: top paint color (this is the background), the "underside" of the paint - this is the tearaway part, and the underneath stuff.

I think you can go with one color as the "underside" part and get the right feel. lemme see if i can whip something up in mspaint.

This is what I started with. This would be one of the sides of a rudder. I think it creates the idea, but not like an airbrush would. I was going to scale them, then print on waterslide paper and put on a chrome backing. My second idea was to make it out of trim sheets all together. Without 6 different trim sheets, I can't figure out any better way.

Also, will a permanent marker really stay permanent with fuel/oil present. I'd like to draw the black border to avoid another layer of adhesive.

if you look closely at dan's picture, he's really got what you need.

instead of an outline on the tear-away part, you need to make a shadow between the one and the other. also, try to make the checkers not square, but different sized so they look like a curved surface.

This was the closest I came with the mono coat water slide decals over big areas are gonna be next to impossible to make them look good if you can get the drawings alot of sign shops have clear vynal and I was in one today that can print what ever you like to it its scratch proof water proof etc I would guess fuel proof but I dunno. Kinda pricey this is the closest ive come come to pulling it off with monocoat
