Raimo,
The golden color I choose for the striping is a special effect color. It
reflects the heat. Though it is expensif, the color and application was
a 1000 Euro cost. And gold is nearly yellow what after white is the
second choise. Better than big black letters.
Best regards,
Karel Vranken

Dear Karel,
Yes in Suomi we like to reinvent things and make them better.
Like a phone and the result is history like www.nokia.com
(and it is not created to attract attention only you know!).
Despite that I have to mention Thomas S & Co are not Finnish.
There are also some other people on the ball thinking by their own
brains.
By the way you have on your Europa sides golden strips pointing
straight to the sun.
What a hot spot!
Aren=C2=B4t you worried one day the fuselage joint will be melt and
you
have a canoe stage again during your flight ;)
Sorry I forgot those little dark strips, pics, stars, letters, numbers
etc mean nothing...
Kind Regards, Raimo
