Mind the imperfect nose fold and the permanent marker hand rendering on the the photo. It's a Mark I - proof of concept. Gonna get myself a decent paper sticker for Mark II with all the flame gradation color glory of red-to-black tip with a dash of yellow/orange.

Pros: dirt cheap, easy to make - only 2 pieces to stick together, better design-integrated cooling for front motor & 4in1, looks slick and sporty, customizable to your liking (I'd stay away from Hello Kitty theme if I were you).
Cons: takes a little time and effort to make.

I've printed the pattern onto a plain A4 paper, then cut and trace the edges onto a 200g silvery stock - very rigid to the wind coming from the blades. Cut the hole with an x-acto knife. For less effort, (if your printer has the feature) print directly onto thick/heavy paper stock. Best if you can find a thin plastic, though the glue-ing process might get complicated if you want to score for neatness. Apply decal through separate stickers or print directly.

Looks great combined with this mod, or go ahead mod my mod and see what you can come up with. Good luck!
