Getting very close... here's a tease from Joe. (Bird decal goes above the MOONEY.)

I am picking N943RW up tomorrow, D.V.  I asked Joe for pics of SabreCowl:

Long day, alarm at 4:00 but the plane is sleeping in its own hangar tonight after 3-1/2 months.

I really love the design it looks both vintage and modern at the same time look forward to seeing more pics. One question though, I thought that when repainted we are required to have the gigantic Tail numbers hope I'm wrong because that would spoil an excellent paint scheme

Antique (production) planes (built at least 30 years ago) are allowed 2" numbers. (If I were to leave the USA I'd have to use temporary 12" numbers.) 

Here's Scheme Designers really nice summary which links to the appropriate section or part 45.

Thanks! That's exactly what I was going for and asked Scheme Designers to help me create.

we painted that Thunderbird on. But actually it’s better if you reverse mask it and then peel it off to reveal the white

Looks really nice. I'll actually be up at MRN this weekend dropping the plane off at AGL for annual, too bad I won't be able to see it in person
