Default Painting Options for a Scale model



Does anyone know where online I can see some good tips for painting and finishing a 60 size scale plane. Iwould like to see the process of covering with fiberglass and epoxy. etc. I have lots of experience with paints and airbrush techniques, just not how to finish the plane first.</p>

Yeah, I'll second that Tom Pierce site. He does wonderful work. You might also have a look at [link]http://www.vaillyaviation.com[/link]. Roy does an excellent tutorial on painting with latex paint. Having done a couple of biplanes with his method, I think it's now my preferred method too.

Thanks for your help guys!  I'm working on a SIG four star as my first build and it will be covered in monokote, however I would like to do something scale next.
