My finish kit arrived today, via Partain Transport. I sure got a surprise when I opened the crate though.... I've got to look at a dog-p***s pink cowling for the next year or so.

Hahahahaha!
They really are pink!
I had heard that the next gen plastic stuff is pink, now I know it is right!
Did you order that out of the "Men's Section" of the Vans catalog or not?

They're all gonna laugh at you.
Is it better though, I mean fewer pin holes, stronger?

I can't imagine this cowling having fewer pinholes than anything. It's got millions. I hoping to never really test the strength, so I can't answer to that.

Great. I can't wait until my pink cowling arrives. Then I can go buy some nice pumps and a purse to go with it.

I thnk I'm going to paint my whole plane pink.
I heard it said one time that "real men wear pink", but we all know that real men are IN the pink
