Can you do weathering with monokote?
Hi, I would like my corsair warbird to look more realistic and I think that "weathering" the monokote or ultracote would be a great idea. Are their any tips or idea's to simply weather the ARF H9 Corsair to make it look more realistic? Thank you.

Monokote can be painted with Rustolium paint. Silver Rustolium on crumpled up aluminum foil and dabbed on leading edges, and where paint chips would be, looks pretty good. Then, a flat clear does wonders for the war bird, supposedly in action. Just let the paint dry for at least a week before exposing it to fuel, it it works fine. Hear is my covered P-38 painted with Rustolium paints. I used flat paints also.

Nice looking work. That's good work.
What is the model?

What did you use to make the panel lines and rivets?They look great. Have you experienced any peeling or gumming of the paint around the pitt muffler exhaust area? Did you use the Rustolium flat clear to seal everything? Again, beautiful job! How big is your Lightning?

The aircraft is the Nitro Planes 90" P-38 often pictured in the header of the forum page. Many modifications including plug-in wings, retracts, and much more, and as talked about, a new paint job.
