I call this one the SkyHarley.
It's based on an early rev3 S107 from Xheli.
Why they don't offer this in black carbon like this, IDK.
Makes for a burly look.
Copter #2...of over 5 dozen I own.
Matte black was used on all parts except the canopy.
Notice that none of the screws are painted over.
This was 100% torn down to repaint it.
The canopy isn't real CF.
I faked it with paint cans.
First, you paint the canopy gloss black.
Then you put a cheescloth bag around it, and draw it tight to the surfaces.
A thin coat of matte clear is shot over the cheesecloth,
Leaving the trick mesh pattern behind.
In this closeup, you can see that the effect isn't all that tight in details.
The windscreen was masked separate, so it stayed "clear".
One of my favorite copters!
