Isnt it crazy, arf companies would charge easily $200-$300 usd for that, which can be made from $5 woth of depron, lol. Fun is in flying, but crafting something with your own two hands is priceless.
Great video, thank you. I would have thought after heating the tape for 15 minutes the glue from the tape would be impossible to remove from the depron but you seem to do it, so I guess it's not that hard?!
@@scalercmodels9261 would you be able to do this using balsa do you think? I would love to try this for a micro fuselage and 2mm depron, but carving a harder wood with such small details would be a real challenge!
Depron is the brand name, it is very fine extruded Polystyrene. I found it also under names like Selitron, XPS and others. Since these plates are common to be used as indoor isolation, you may also find it in shops for painters or upholsterers🎉

Excellent. It really looks like a late marque Spitfire.
That's a stunning looking model and it seems to fly very well too.
Nice to see a long antenna again 😃
Amazing! Thanks for the post!
impressive work , thank you for sharing
You made that look so easy! wow!
Great looking model. I might have to try this sometime.
Let be honest, you are not going to try this
@@iwontreplybacklol7481 excuse me?? Who the hell are you to say that? Do you even know me?

Beautiful plane good work 👍
Subscribed. Hello from Texas.
very interesting technique
Excellent job and very impressive moulding technique. Did you cover the depron with anything ( glass cloth or paper) before painting?
I added only water based parquet varnish prior to the paint (Revell Email Color)
Super👍
Veeeery interesting method!

It is easy to peel it off. Just be sure you peel it off before glueing the two halfs for the fuselage together 😊

Great idea, is there another name for depron? How thick? 3mm? Im looking for foam here in the Philippines but cant find anything good

Inspiring. Thanks for the vid 😊👍
Well done complimenti 👍
Is there a way to curve foam board into a circular fueselage without a mold?
I habe never achieved an acceptable result without a mold. At least anything to bend it around is necessary imho
@scalercmodels9261 ok, I love rc planes and want to start making them but I'm getting all the knowledge before I make my first one
Nice technic ... can you please tell us what material you use for fuselage moulding ?
The material is 6mm Depron. The mold is just simple wood (spruce I think but not sure. Just took a piece I had left in my shed)
Sehr schön. 👍
What brushless motor, propeller, battery and ESC did you use? I want to try and make this legendary spitfire.

How did you mount the canopy?
Magnets
fantastic, 5mm and 3mm depron?
Yes. Might also be 6mm and 3mm, can't remember, I'm using both 5 and 6mm
Informative. I have a question. Did you remove the tape once the fuselage sides were molded?
Yes, just before I glued both halfs together
@@scalercmodels9261 Thank you.
@@scalercmodels9261pulling the tape off didn't tear the foam? Is it sellotape?
Hi
How to make the moulds
Print a 3-view drawing of the plane, take away 5mm (thickness of the Depron sheets), saw a board according to drawing and then sand it into shape
Watch this video with closed captioning enabled. It is hilarious!!
Super 👍!!!!
sympa tes vidéos j ai moi aussi une chaine de construction d avion en Depron que je viens de lancer j adore aéromodélisme
Merci!
Do some extra 300 Fc from Thailand
