RC Fletcher

[thebrads]

Gents, doing a little research for my next RC model.
84" Fletcher (from the Hangar One kit).
I'm thinking ahead to what model and colour scheme. The kit is for a 300hp, but i can change that to a 400hp. Not interested in a turbine version.
Re scheme, i've got it narrowed to two choices:
Central Airspread's blue and yellow stripes :

or this:


Thanks to furybfb11 on this thread rnzaf.proboards.com/thread/12298/fletcher?page=17


Does anyone have any further pics of these schemes, in particular is there any stripes or other markings on the wings/TP?
Cheers

Great choice for a unique rc model, should make for a good flyer with those polyhedral wings, will be watching.

I'll ask on the Fletcher fan page on Facebook (link to post, feel free to join if you use it!), and I've reached out to a couple of friends who may be able to help. Photos of EUD and DZF from Dave Bates via his son Nick:

Thanks Guys, I'm leaning towards DZF but nothing set in stone yet.
I hadn't planned on posting regular updates, but if you really want to see something, let me know. P.S. it's already built, just needs some love and finishing.
