Thought I'd attempt to fire up some interest in the painting of the SKYFALL 007, with a new Thread.  

Long threads that go left and right, up and down, and sideways, interest gets lost.     Well if there is interest.  

Here's the Flite Streak, sporting a RRC, (Rusty Rattle Can,) finish.

Krylon in this case. Here's some of the steps. Paint goes everywhere even where you don't want it.  

Black as the ace of spades. Till I remove the tape.  

Rusty Dusty Rattle Can, take a look!!

Wynn,

What a surprise!

Thank you for the reply and the kind words.

Don't let that black fool you. I have tricks up my sleeves. 

I am following a recommendation from Phil, who suggested I paint the TE area black and carry the black onto the fuselage. As per George's original Flite Streak scheme but with a different arrangement of color. The center area of the wing will be white. I'm undecided as far as the color of the LE area, but that area will have the look of the original FS also. Great scheme on the Flite Streak. Difficult to improve, but can be enhanced a bit. That's my goal..

There will be stuff at the nose to brake it up, engine, tank, gear with one wheel plus a aluminum spinner. I have a small three blade spinner, make the nose more interesting.

Unfortunately I won't be pulling any tape. Painting the wings requires the masking of the fuselage and all of the tail feathers.

I'll leave the masking that's already on there and just cover the black.

The wings are next.

That's where I'll do some magic tricks. I hope they work.

Thanks again for the reply.

That rattle can paint sure seems to lie down nice.  Hurry, hurry, many are waiting for the mask to come off.

A few fixes before I tackle the paint detail on the wing. Probably over fussy.

You can see a bit of the canopy.

I had a couple of Skynight pattern ships and this canopy look was taken from that model, canopy design was similar.

Skynights. Really nice looking models but they didn't fly well.  Probably why I was attracted to them. 

So has your mind gone so bad that you now have to label your repairs to remember them? 

Scratched the SKYFALL 007 up with 600 and gave the wings another thin coat of Krylon satin white. Thin coat. I will do a masking tape test. I always do.

Simple paper pattern for laying out color separations on the wing.

Triditional Aldrich Flite Streak scheme, except I'll have black in the rear, as suggested by Phil, and white in the center.

Undecided for the LE area. I'll use a color I have.

Try to get the wings painted tomorrow.

OK, Charles, I don't want you to rush and mess up something, but that model should have a half dozen flights on it already!

Here's an update on the SKYFALL 007. 

Detailing the Skyfall 007 continues with the painting of the weight box lid. Brodak issue.

Lid has a coat of sealer, a few coats of clear, primer and what you see is Krylon satin white.

This will be ready to mask and paint shortly.

I believe the GA original FS scheme splits this lid.

Hey, Charles, one of our rattlecan guys on another forum puts his planes in the car on hot days to quick cure the paint. But then he lives in the Desert Southwest part of our country. Cracking the windows a bit seems like a good idea. I haven't tried it, but if I was getting as fancy as you are with the SkyFall, I'd be mighty impatient by now. Taking up too much flying time.

I thought this was an interesting paint and finish Thread and I never did get around to finishing the thread?

I don't know why that is?

I'll look to see if I have more photos of the paint work. I'll post them if I can find them, otherwise, I'll post just the finished model.

Well, I just looked and the model is finished except for the clear coat. No point in posting photos of removing masking paper.

I gotta get this model in the air. I'll see if there's anyone at our field that can do a short video.

I'm really delighted with the way this model came out using just aerosol cans.
