RE: f-27 stryker

RayRay,

The Fusion paint for plastic does not work as well as the regular Krylon. I use the Green Painters Tape. The blue and purple don't work as well.

RE: f-27 stryker rules

Not sure if the packing foam is the same as the plane. I did not even test it first on anything but the plane - and I was committed at that time! The cans of Krylon that I used did not say anything...

RE: f-27 stryker rules

I used Krylon - good old rattle can paint. It seems to coat and fill well. It did not attack the foam. I did a light dusting with Matte Finish (Krylon) to seal everything. The Balsa Filler I used...
