Classic Fundamentals...the Dirty Birdy is painted!

This is a continuation from post #41 discussing finishing resin and the BVM pre-primer pin hole filler.

The Dirty Birdy is one step closer to flying today. I picked up the fuselage from my new Naperville painter, Tim Olson. I met Tim at my Fox Valley R/C Fall Pattern Classic in September. He is a professional automobile restorer, specializing in Camaro and Trans Am vehicles from the early to late 70's-...a classic car restorer! Anyway, he is returning to pattern after some years away (we always get'em back) and I asked if he had ever considered doing some paint work...

The Dirty Birdy uses the PPG base coat clear coat system (the numbers will be posted later). I am very pleased with the results and look forward to dropping off a few other projects...Deception and Super Lucky Fly Supreme. The color scheme is a copy of the RCM, Ben Strasser construction article model.

The rudder, which had one application of the BVM pin hole filler, one coat of rattle can gray primer and a coat of sealer- turned out very good and will definitely use this fine product again.
