Lowes and Home Depot are "do-it-yourself" home improvement materials stores. They sell lumber, roofing materials, appliances, flooring, wallboard, insulation and pretty much anything else you would need to update, repair or build a building or improve your yard/landscaping. I'm sure there is someplace that sells water based latex paints for repainting homes in the UK

It looks good, will you be baffling the cowl to direct the airflow?

1/4 Scale Cub on Floats with Saito FG57T
 
Haven’t posted for a while. Was never happy with the power on floats of some of the other engines I’ve tried so put the Saito twin in. Works great!
