If I'm not mistaken, Krylon has a line of true camo colors. I think three. I've seen them on Amazon but I haven't used them. Krylon paints are what I use too.

Thank you.
I wanted to use these colors, https://www.targeta.co.uk/images/101_7261ww5.jpg.
But all olive greens that I found online in all nearby stores were out of stock... so I finally went with the green I had. I knew it wasn't quite what I wanted, but for being my first try at doing camo paint, the end result is wasnt that bad!
What do you think?
I have the stickers ready, those are going to make the difference definitely!
Almost there! Tomorrow it will be finished (just showing the finished side
)

Nope. Spay paint, Rust-Oleum or Krylon.
Do very light coats at the begging and slowly cover the whole thing.

Do you use some sort of stencil? How do you get the pattern?
Thank you.

Looks awesome!
I just painted mine too, slim pickings in the paint section everywhere.
Paint is turning out to be the most expensive part of my builds.

It’s going to be a bit until I build my spit, I’m currently working on a 5ft twin engine plane I built based off the simple stick…

I basically did what he is doing in this video (
I put several pieces of masking tape together in parallel, and then cut the camo shapes with a stencil. This was the look of the plane before painting:
Thank you man! You camo pattern looks more realistic IMO, I like it! how does she fly?

Thanks! It flies GREAT! First plane I built that didn't need any trimming. Make sure if you are handlaunching that you give it plenty of power, I learned that the hard way after the very first launch attempt went about 35 feet, then into the ground, LOL! It's a tough plane and didn't even take a scratch. Looking forward to aa lot of great flying with this one.
