I was wondering if you could airbrush over white ultrakote too.
I have a big gas posered air compressor but airbrushes are alot of money, it would be cool to cover a plane in all white though, that would be easy and then airbrush.

Yes, covering can be airbrushed over. The Shrike pictured below was purchased from Jeremy Ferguson aka LGM Graphics. It is airbrushed over Solartex ( I think that's what it is anyway
). He does do airbrush work on models. His website is [link=http://www.lgmguitars.com/splash_guitars.html]LGM Guitars[/link] Click on the graphix tab and you'll see a bit of his work.

When it comes to airbrushes you get what you pay for. Those horror freight ones are absolute junk. You can buy a GOOD airbrush from Iwata for around $60, they of course go up, but that is a good all around airbrush, in fact the entire shrike that e-dave showed pics of was done with the iwata revolution. A $60 airbrush, So was this turbine heli canopy.

You can paint on ultracote as well, but you have to sand it and then clear coat it, it's a lot of work but it's doable.
Here is my old Legend 5 that I airbrushed some graphics onto the ultracote.
