Brett,

My kit was white. I painted it blue. As far as I know, all Levi's Depron kits come in white. You can ask him if he offers other colors, I'm not really sure.

Ahh. . thanks. . . coincidental then that the three that I've seen had a very similar blue!

Well, that's good to hear!

John....did you just use markers for the scheme? Looks cool!

I'm still waiting for my Turbo Raven from 3Dfoamy[:@]! I've called and sent numerous emails but can't get any response.......

I jsut saw Testors has paint markers. . . I wonder how these would work, and how heavy the paint ends up being. . . anyone tried them on foam?

Brett,

I enjoyed your build thread, but it left me wanting more! I'm waiting on my G-Force Sukhoi now and those detailed pics are making me drool. Where's that mailman!!!!!

It's Pretty cool, I am spending much more time to build this than I probably should be spending on a foamy. . but oh well!! As long as it has an airworthy weight after all this paint, and doesn't get stuffed on the maiden flight I will be happy!

Check back for updates. . . I just posted about 10 more pics.

Bret,

That build looks awesome!!! Mind if I snag some pictures from it for the manual? really nice painting.

I just wanted to thank you guys for the kind comments about the PRO wing. Ive had a tough couple weeks dealing with unhappy folks and shipping times, manuals, etc.... It makes me feel good that there are guys having fun, apreciating all the hard work that I have put into the kits...

Please do Levi! I have higher res versions of most of them if you happen to need them, otherwise feel free to use anything that could be useful. . .of course now I wish I had cleaned my workspace a little more for the pics! I guess I can always photoshop some of them if needed.

Yeah, I have figured that right about now you might be wondering why you're doing this. . . I know I am in good company of folk that appreciate your efforts, even if they have to wait to get their kits.


I think I will be ordering another Raven and probably something else (Turbo Raven perhaps) but this next one will be a little simpler in the paint department as I have gotten the painting bug out of my system with this one! This one will be done tomorrow other than the motor installation (pending arrival of the 3DF AXI mount). I can't wait to test fly it!

Very nice detail on the lines Staudacher. Makes me feel like a bum for wimping out with the decal kit. I just bench tested my AXI and servos. Can't wait for my kit to arrive!!

Yeah that SU looks awesome! Unlike mine it looks like it's probably almost as light us unpainted foam . . . which I sure couldn't say about mine

I need some friends with an airbrush!
