No, not the nose on my face with a tattoo, or ring, or a spike, but my Lightning, maybe a little paint, or probably vinyl? I like how things turned out with my plane, but the cowling seems a little bare. Any thoughts?

Don't change a thing. the cowl is pr=E9cising the air first and then the color shows up. Its perfect. Astatically balanced. If anything, maybe paint the prop tips white so it blends into the cowl. I hope mine turns out to look that good.
