Painting Nightmare Update
« on: September 22, 2010, 06:27:38 PM »
Well after everthing I went through on this thing I thought I'd post some pics of the finished project. It's a Dick Sarpolus Challenger but I used a Cardinal wing to give it a USA 1 look, power is a piped OS 32 F and the final weight is 47 oz. so this should be a very good flying model. As I said in the other post this is the first time I've sprayed the entire model and I have to say it turned out very sa-weet and is by far the nicest looking model I've ever built and I learned allot about paint compatability...lol But Dear lord in heaven I never want to go through that ever again!!!!!!!! n1  n1  n1  <=  <=  <=    LL~  LL~  LL~  LL~  LL~
Thanks guys
Dwayne

Yea, I say that every plane. Then I foolishly try something new on the next plane and say it again.  Sigh...

WOW Dwayne.  I love that paint scheme. In fact I just printed two copies of it for future use on a future stunter. I just love stealing great paint schemes.  Looks like a real fun job of masking.  y1 H^^ 

Thank you and I hope it turns out just as nice for you.

Not sure I'd call it a nightmare anymore, looks more like a mid-summer afternoon's dream to me. Real nice! Don't give up on the dope finishes, you will learn to love them, honest.
