I just finished my first Speed build kit, the Storch, using the water resistant foam board kit. I painted it with Bin Zinzer sealer then Rustolium and it came out kinda rough. I didn't care to much anyway as this is my first foam board plane and it is going to be a trainer, so it looks ok for a rough trainer...
Anyway, on my next build I was thinking about using the regular foam board speed build kit, Minwaxing before hand, then also painting everything before I build. My question is, will the paint crinkle or crack when I bend the wings into place, using the Storch for example...also the A and B bends, will the paint hold up or will it just flake off. Is it better to paint after the build?
The reason I was thinking about using the regular foam board the next time is that is looks easier to work with and after Minwaxing it looks to be water proof.
Thanks!
