Default RE: CMP Hellcat

Rapturemen---Pleas elaborate on the use oif Latex paints(which I've heard of being used on RC's on sev aoocasions). Confirm we need to clear coate over if we're using Glow---as I am, OS 1.20 FS. I am finishing mine in the 1943 "Marianas Turkey Shoot" raids off the USS Yorktown (cv-10) My Dad's carrier in The pacific. I have a thousands of pictures of the deck of the ship, weathering shown, oil, you name it. I am concerned of >>>>>>The weight of Latex and the use of a clear coate over it......What do you know on the weight of these paints vs a very expensive Nelson paint program to paint this. Looking forward to this all------I thoroughly enjoy the weathering and wearing ---and am to fiberglass the wings, and tail. My Dad shot down a number of the Jananese Zeros, so when I finish the Hellcat, they'll be a weatered Zero with
20 mm AA holes through key points. That's weathering.....
