I don't wish to discourage you, but I have to ask the question - why ? There might be a passing curiosity in seeing skeletons ( if that's what they are ) in the external model, but who is going to want to use it after that ?

I thank it will be cool. I'll fly it after I get the plane and you finish your paint in remembrance of all that have flown it and perished in it. It's a sobering reminder of what it took to get the job done. I for one like what you are doing with it and view it as a tribute to all. :D

Very cool. Like a ghost ship. I'm assuming you will be distressing the body of the aircraft as well? Maybe paint it to look like it's all damaged or been under the water for awhile with seaweed dangling off the body and wings.
