Default RE: RClander T33 for 90 or 120mm edf

I sprayed 3 or 4 coats of the Rust-oleum Crystal Clear Enamel on the tip tanks to provide a glossy protective shell over the foam. Although the bare foam doesn't like the clear enamel, it seems fine on the pre-painted areas. I'm not sure if I will spray the clear coat on the aluminum color of the fuselage and wing because I like the stock finish. The detail in the molds is very nice!

I pressed the tanks onto the wing tips and mounted the canopy hatch so I could do a rough CG check. I loaded the two 6s (28C) 3350mAh EON28 FlightPower packs up front and the 2s 1100mAh Life Source pack near the receiver (as shown in post #39). The T-33 was slightly tail heavy which was perfect for adding the two pilots and finishing up the cockpit.
