RE: 3dhobbyshop.com Sabre
aflipz: Can't wait to see pics of your Sabre. I should be receiving my Ultrafly Extra 300 tomorrow (we talked about these planes in another thread). I'm looking forward to how they perform.
As far as painting Depron, yes you can. But you have to be careful because some types of paint can eat the foam. Actually, from what I've heard, it's not so much the paint that eats the foam but the propelant used in the "aerosol" spray cans. So air brushing is a better option. Or painting it by hand with a brush. But the air brush I'm sure leaves a much nicer finish. This is exactly what I did with another project that was made out of 3mm depron. I airbrushed the paint on and it worked great. I tried several kinds of paint also (air brush specific paint, and Testors model paint) and none had any foam eating issues. I plan on painting my Extra the same way.
