This is a TFGS Corsair ARF that has been painted over with latex paint.

Great looking plane.
Couple of questions: What primer is/was used to get latex paint to stick to plastic covering? Or, was the plane stripped and recovered?
And a full scale also related question: What actuates the elevator boost tabs? And why is the link to the port tab different than that to the starboard tab as shown in the picture?
Thanks.
