The original design from Final Fantasy 7 as released by Square Soft (at the time), fun fact did you know the Tiny Bronco was going to be called "Sister Ray" which because the cannon name!
With the underwing spars in place I could continue adding 1mm carbon fibre rod to re-enforce the structure and stiffen the frame otherwise it will flex in flight given the thickness involved here!
In order to save weight I decided that while re-enforcing the whole structure with thinned epoxy resin I could colour dye it with red acrylic paint toned to the correct red required. This means the bulk becomes pre-painted so I only need do trim painting after.
So I used black pen to add trim lines around the cockpit and then used thinned ink brushed in along the wing leading edges and places for a bit of weathering effect. Nothing over the top but enough to make it look used.
Now it's time for electronics and I have to begin with the FPV camera as the wiring runs through the cockpit and later be covered by the control board.
I don't want the quad frame to stand out and given the bright red nature of the Tiny Bronco all I had to do was colour it all black. The red over powers the black and draws the eye away from the frame.
