Scary looking drone.  I must get some new case and do them up first.

So far bacon winning. Tasty results.

Thus far, we have 7 for bacon and one circumcision. Well, maybe he eats kosher.

I thought about doing this to mine as it's easier to see in the skies. Right now, I don't have the best eye sight so when I'm peering  into the grey skies, I sometimes lose sight of the bird. All black would certainly help.

I have put the same type of skin as yours on my P3S and found it to be interfering with the GPS reception. How is your GPS signal strength after you added the skin to the copter?

Hi. I did a couple flights today with the skin on. I used RTH to bring the drone back a few times, even from pretty far out. It came back to the correct home point, so all seems normal. I'll watch for any issues, though.

I've just got an airbrush kit, so before long mine will have a full RAF camo and decals, although I may have to add some D-day invasion stripes to make it visible

Yes but you also have the Argtek Antenna on and still hit your record of 2.6km distance today.

The description of your intended paint scheme reminded me of this song from my youth:

Great song, and even better intro - we shall never surrender!
Got me feeling all patriotic now (even if it's not allowed by the PC crowd anymore)

My family emigrated to Canada, where I was raised thinking Tetley's and Wheetabix were Canadian foods.

Lager and a bacon sandwich? Yes, please.

Please post pics when your paint job is done.

How about pinstriping one's copter? I was at a car show recently and there were pinstripe artworks on display, and I thought in talented hands, a Phantom will look great with pinstriping.

You tend to appreciate skins like you do with temporary tattoos, you always have the chance to change them.

It's funny how much the thread has evolved into a good portion of bacon requests.

You had to have known that bacon wins every time.

DID SOMEBODY SAY BACON?
I cut my own graphics and FAA identification# for mine. The graphics are reflective orange and all the lettering is black. On the sides I also put decals that say "Reward if found call: 123-456-7890"
So if it ever gets lost and someone would like to return it they know who to call.

You should know that even I voted for bacon. This completely scientific marketing research will no doubt be of value to DJI, who will release a Phantom 5 Bacon some time in the future.

Well in China, there is no religion.

That is a good point, at least I can replace my P3 shell, where as my shell is for life

Why buy skins!?   Make your drone your own, paint your "one of" creation.

Believe me, I know the prospect of bacon trumps everything, but it's like choosing the ringer before the rest of the players. It seems kind of unfair.

I can picture it now. The Phantom 5 Bacon's shell is made of maticulously wrapped bacon strips in the 'iconic' basket weave design. {:4_181:}

You may want to refer to my comment on post #14.

You may have a pain staking removal process should you get bored with it when it's more 'permanent'.

There are some really nice custom copters in here. Nice work!

MMMMM! BACON! Well... Shoot, now i'm hungry. But the skin looks really cool.

Our son dated a professional chef for a while. He learned from her that "bacon is the culinary cheat-code." Add bacon for the instant win!

If you deep fry the skin you get what we call Pork Scratchings, very tasty

The black one looks good with white props. I am thinking of buying a refurbished P4  black edition and I wasn't too happy with the color. (the price is right and black is the only choice) But your accent changes the whole picture.

You can even do custom skins - and they are not priced too badly either!

I just ordered a skin from them yesterday. Lots of choices and like you said, nice pricing to. They come with the skin for the RC and batteries.

How many battery faces are provided in those sets of skins.
I'm guessing 4 or 6?
"Kit includes drone skin, controller skin + 4 battery skins"

Yeah. now wondering if one could order several similar extra battery skins, in a regular order?
I would like 7.

It says 4 but i looked around their website and i don't see anything where you can get  just battery skins. Would be nice though.

Mine came with 4. I suppose you'd have to buy 2 sets to get enough for 7 batteries, but then you'd have spares for the body and remote. Vanity is most important.

It would be nice, if they would be willing to stick two sets of four, battery faces, in a single order.

I have no use for two drone skins and two RC skins...

Yes, drone skins are great, if you can find one that suits all occasions.
I may break out the Sharpies and do a personalized touch to my drone.  
I have searched many skin websites, but have yet to find one that I like more than others.
All though, I like the Weeds skin, with the leaf, a lot. ;-)
