Default RE: Would you clear coat - what would you use.

Thanks for the advice. I will be checking into the clear coat from Nelson Hobbies. Problem is that since it is a T-28 - of course it is white so I will test the clear coat on a sheet of Balsa to see if it turns yellow before i coat the entire plane.

In regards to weight, I figured this would be a practice build for the next kit which is a Ziroli P-47n. It will be the 70 inch version which will be heavy by nature. According to the article it is supposed to be 48 - 52 ounces but Mine is well over that. I am hearing from a few forums that the plane is coming in at 68 - 70 ounces.

Who know I may never fly it but I want it to look good when I do.

For the Ziroli, I will be looking to either a latex or the epoxy paints but that is a ways off.
