Scale 50cc Scratch Build From My Own Design Revisited

[Snoopy1]

Just for the record when I primed yesterday I used Nason 421-19 primer with 483-87 activator at a 4 to 1 mix. To that I added 7.5% DuPont 2350S flexible additive. I then added a little less than 10% Nason 441-21 reducer. The cured primer is very flat and smooth and not grainy at all. It should sand easy.

I took a photo of the rudder trying to show the surface of the primer in the light reflection.

Man that looks good with a shine like that I would be afraid to sand it. Sure is nice to see how it really should be done and if done correctly how good it looks. Wish I had a chair in the corner.

That plane is AWESOMELY BEAUTIFUL @Jetpainter ....I am in awe.

I think the concept of building a scale plane that never existed, but could have, is the pinnacle of model aircraft...and you've taught me so much in this build that will be used in my future builds as well.

Thanks for sharing and keep it up!

Literally! I can't talk though, I have a three year old warbird and all I've done is install the retracts

Plus @cbarnes0061 should no that people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones...... Ahhuuum (cough) Cap project.

Thanks Guys! I'm going to get a swollen head, and my melon is already so bulbous I can barely get a hat to fit as it is.

I assembled the plane this afternoon so I could take some pictures to stare at for finalizing the scheme.

Your bird is awesome! If you can spray primer like that I can't wait to see it with color

Lol yeah yeah. I was getting close on that project then @wecoyote made me a screaming deal on thd 30% Carden Cap 232 that he had and I just couldn't pass it up. All the gear got pulled from the scratch build to go to the Carden. Speaking of the Carden I need to get it repaired from my dork on the last flight.

I did a little more brainstorming on a paint scheme. As usual I've changed my mind again on a color. For now anyway.

I like it. But it will look good no mater which paint scheme you pick.

How is the plane coming along have not seen any new info looking forward to see the paint scheme you have decided on.
