Ok, the next question is, should I build the helo using the thin inkjet paper I already printed it on, or should I reprint the helo on thin Epson photo paper.
I have used the paper for NASCAR builds which I have done a couple of, and I had a copy of the Aston Martin DBR9 printed on it, but i can't find the print back. It should only take 3 sheets of the photopaper to get the body work done.

The nice thing about a coast guard bird is it'll be white - and paper edges are white

Actually the HH-65 Dolphin will not be white, it is orange,
the Jayhawk is white with the orange stripe Rick

orange, eh? Well, I'd vote for the white version - but ultimately build what you want

Photo paper ? euckkkkkk - tried that didn't like it. You gotta scrap the gloss off all the tabs. On second thoughts, a helo should be a gloss finish, so it might work well. Needs careful handling tho..... dead easy to scratch the finish.

with thick photo paper, yes I agree, but Epson has this 38lbs 141g/m2 thin photo paper, and it works great, I have been working on some car models and the paper holds great with my Aleene's tacky glue.
