Default Painting a Nieuport 11

I used a satin latex exterior house paint, then a light coat of Minwax satin polyurethane clear over it. I sprayed on most of the latex, but this scheme also has areas brushed.I would spray the whole thing unless you need some special effects. I used Behr brand of paint but there are different opinions on brands.

I used the water slide decals and had the vinal lettering cut at a local shop.

I have a gas motor in this plane and finish is holding up with no problems. Cannot say how it will do with glow fuel though.
