Hi David,
If You promise to not laugh when You read this... Not an airplane this time but these two "vintage" things... One Wik "Helix" autogyro and one Hegi "Bell Huey Cobra". At least the Helix need a repaint as You can see. It is a cracy projects that I will do now since I always wanted to try that Helix since I first saw it in Wik catalog at about 1975. I had to search long before I found it. I have not decided if the Cobra will be repainted - it is rather rare, it is from 1973 and it was competing in first helicopter competition here in Sweden October 28 1973 and it placed 2nd out of 13 participants so It is probably one of the oldest helis here in my country. But my next airplane paint job will probably be a Mach 1 for my Pro Line radio that I plan to get airborne (need to get it converted to 2.4 GHz first). Last time I painted a Mach 1 (in 1977 - the last picture belowis that Mach 1, mine) it was painted in 2-component polyurethane, hand painted - we had no good spray guns back in those days (we had one spray gunbut it wasnot good enough for spraying our precious pattern planes with).
