RE: Let's show our Scale Planes off
My Cessna 150. Plans by Hostetler, cut by Custom Cutters (no longer in business).
I sheeted the entire plane. Glassed with Pacer's finishing resin and 0.6 oz cloth. Primed with white auto primer. Put a thin coat of Clear Klass Kote to make a tougher surface for finishing and painted it with Sherwin Williams auto paint using a touch-up spray gun (from Home Depot) for the white over coat, and an Iwata fine spray gun for the colored portions.
The photo with the sky as a brackound is the full scale plane I attempted to replicate. The others are my model.
Oh, yes, it came out to be a whopping 38 pounds.. not the 24 advertised.
It has navigation lights, on-board batteries for ignition and double batteries for 2 receivers. Jr radio w/ds8411 servos.
Power is a Saito 300 twin.
Hasn't been flown yet. Am in the process of finishing a trailer to haul it around.
