Well this is what I did this past weekend. I started painting saturday night and got it finished sunday. I shot the front end pieces during the week so I'll get some pics of it all together. This paint was the hardest stuff I have ever shot. It's so thin for anyone who has ever shot autopaint just image the auto paint thinned out 5 times the normal amount and this is what this stuff is like before adding reducer. So it takes lots of thin super thin coats. I cant even remember how many coats went on this plane. But later this year I'll be shooting the wings. The reason for the wait is b/c we have to remove them to paint them. And my dad wants to fly this plane this summer. The other plane is getting tore down for its annual inspection. Oh yeah this plane is not metal. That is why there's not much shin to the paint it's actually fabric wraped over a metal frame. Sorry faith for not making it out this weekend.

 

Nice work buddy... when you going to paint the tibby? I need to get mine into paint one of these days...

 

I might have it painted later this year not sure yet. I just need to get motivated to start the prepping it which doesnt look like fun right now.

 

my and my dad started an airplane about 10 years ago, were on the last 2 pages of finishing it, glad to see a finished product cause we just stopped smile.gif
