    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.

    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...

    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.

      @@AntsRC Yeah, well, it wasnt ment as critisism, more as a hint on that you can actually paint a 109 as you want. If you check out some 109 paint schemes, you will see that the germans got quite creative, and virtually no 109 was painted alike, unlike f.i british planes .

    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.

    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.

    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.

      @@MrRaginglizard really? I do it all the time and notice a huge dip in quality. I've used both frog tape and 3M blue tape, and frog tape is deffinetly better. 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.

  • @joetheman74
    @joetheman74 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Here's a suggestion to make it look MUCH better. The paint scheme looks fantastic but is ruined by those uneven joints where the foam is glued together. Get some lightweight spackle and fill the joints and other unsightly areas. You can even use it to shape some curves like where the wing meets the fuselage. I use DAP Patch-N-Paint. Dries fast and weighs next to nothing. Scuff the surface first then put it on light with a putty knife. Then sand it smooth and paint. Your end result will look like a molded plane instead of foam board.

Perhaps it is easier to paint the LE and TE by using a brush to touch up (spray some paint onto a "dish" of aluminum foil and dip the brush in that.
