What I do is paint an almond cream coat on, and then put an iron cross paper decal on. It worked great for my simple stick!
Anybody else scratch building tonight?

That looks cool but the tail feathers sure look small

Nah lozenge is the camo pattern they put on the wings
Part of it is perspective with my camera, but the Albatros' tail feathers are rather narrow. They're pretty long though so the actual surface area should be fine. I did increase them a bit though.That looks cool but the tail feathers sure look small

Yeah I did think about that, might do that for my build but this ones not mine 😭 so needs to look like the did, no fancy paint jobs on this one lolYou know that has a cool look to it as is, just a little sanding and then maybe a clear coat

You mean FT brown? I just built a plane out of white DTFB. Interesting but I think I like the FT brown better. I've been worried the're discontinuing it, sub their new MakerFB. But I guess it wouldn't be listed as "backorder" if it was being discontinued. (?)

The Blackburn Buccaneer is ready to hit paint shop and get her dressed up 😍
Switched the servos underneath the wing and into fuse
Just need to decide what scheme she’s gonna wear

Wow! Love the Buccaneer, a cold war classic with a slick look. Can't wait to see the finished product and hope it flies as good as it looks!

Well, I've got my foam, some glue, one blade with some life left in it(maybe two). I may rebuild the tailless design I made recently as just a wing, because the fuselage just gets in the way and makes it faceplant pretty much every time, but I'm thinking I'd rather build something with a high mounted pusher prop to use up all my pusher props and protect them at the same time...what if I took the basic premise of the FT explorer and Clancy Bee varieties and combined them...

Yup
The brown foam is wayyy better than the maker foam. I’m unimpressed with the maker foam, which makes me sad since it has some good things but it’s less water resistant, the paper peels, and the waterproof layer of the paper often strips off when you peel off masking tape...
Congrats!
new build ...plank type ,not sure it will fly ...we shall see !
wing from 3mm hk foam (depron?) laminated ..fuse and pod 5mm ft foam..not sure on the motor yet ..most likely 2400 kv quad motor ...keeping me occupied while waiting for weather to pick up and lockdown to ease further...lol
