    Remember it's always wise to start with the lightest color such as you did. It's hard to paint yellow over any color without a bright primer first. So I always start with the lightest color first.

    Great intro on foamboard spray painting... To keep the tape from lifting paint, try a little Hot Air (I use a hair dryer or hot air gun) on the tape. It seems to make the adhesive "less sticky"! (That also works on getting most "Stuck" labels off, too!).
    Good job of that paint scheme...

    @KyrreXXL 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Great look on that 109, now we need a foamboard Sturmvogel, I bet a MS ME-262 would look amazing. BTW, as a former plastic sale model builder, I cant help but point out that the germans stopped using straight line splinter camo about the same time as they went from green to grey colors. Also, the yellow on the nose was sometimes sprayed over the camo, and the camo could show through.

    • @CarminesRCTipsandTricks

    Great video. I have always been terrible at painting models. Just as FT has given me the confidence to design and build more than I thought possible, this video has given me the confidence to turn my white and brown planes into beautifully painted models. I would love to see a Canadair CL-415 on the channel

  • @windsurfingphd
    @windsurfingphd 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I have been painting my electric models with matte acrylic paint from Michaels for many years now without an issue. You can use latex exterior house paint for the same purpose, and this paint actually resists fumes from gas engines. The only thing you need to watch out is to use clear epoxy if you need to use nitro engine on the airplane.

  • @phillipiacobacci1369
    @phillipiacobacci1369 ปีที่แล้ว

    The plane looks great. One trick I have found that works well is to take an old sock and put some baby powder in it. Any where you are going to mask, dust lightly and place tape on that area. The paint will absorb any excess amount of the baby powder and will release from the tape leaving a crisp line. You do not need to overdo the powder, a little will work great.

    WARNING: Most important tip not mentioned here. test your paint on a piece of scrap. 2X seems to be ok but the other kind of Rustoleum sips thru the paper and melts the laminating glue. Your plane would end up looking like an accordion.

    John, thank you for a very informative video, a lot of useful information. One question/gripe I have about the scale series of models. if I'm going to spend time and effort on making a scale model, why can't you make available as an option, vacuum formed clear canopies? I have put off building any of the scale series just because I think opaque canopies ruin the look of the aircraft. With all the resources at the disposal of flight test, I can't see that a vacuum formed canopy would be asking too much. thank you for letting me voice my opinion.

That said, if you take the masking tape, pull it on your pants/shirt, and then use a straight edge and razor to cut a new edge, it works beautifully.

    being a new modeler we find means and methods hard to find, so we just stumble upon them, like this..
    AND you can use minwax wipe on poly and rust-oleum oil base enamel directly on FOAM, we discovered this while painting an Arrow foam Corsair.
    I happened to get some oil base paints on the foam packing and realized that not only does it not dissolve the foam, it bonds very well to the foam.
    The cheap paint that came on the plane peeled off with some Blue tape after I had painted with some latex water base paints;
    We even poured some paint thinner on the foam and it pooled on the foam but Did Not Dissolve the foam.
    Yes, you can coat your Foam plane with oil base poly, paint etc, resulting in a Hard structural skin.

    I don’t want to go back to building the old way but I miss my stol trainer aircraft and would like a nice looking cub, Storch, or maybe wilga (might want to wait for draco x to get started tho)

      I DO want to see some earlier style designs, mixed in with the MS Kits. Not all of us started from the beginning...
