Alan_Perse:
That's Nice  :D . Great job. What paint do you use.

joe:
very nice Fred.lookin great.first flight next weekend? before retroplane

Fred:
Thanks Guys !  :D

For Alan, the paint is from Crown. Gloss, 1 coat. The color is "Scooter red". That's the brand I've used on the Grunau, and the paint is still looking good. And the paint resist to the tape aswell... So, not bad.

Joe, hopefully, I'll be able to fly it during the week, this Week End will be the last possible moment to fly it. otherwise, I'll do the maiden the Thursday / friday before retroplane if the weather is not good enough here.

The Ka3 will be completely finish tonight !  :D  Just some paint touches to do, but ready to fly !

Fred

Alan_Perse:
Is that Crown Exterier or Interier Paint. I didn't think that paint would be suitable for models. Does it stick well to the covering film? Do you varnish the model after you paint it?
By the way, if I forget later on, have a good time guys at Retroplane.

Fred:
Hi Alan,
I've used both (exterior / interior).
But I use this paint on solartex (fabric texture).
No varnish at all for gliders. And the covering is great ! A bit heavy, but that's more than acceptable !

But if you use that paint on oracover, you must unpolish the oracover (fine sanding using 1200 grain) and use varnish (polyurethane one) on planes because of the fuel.

And thanks for Retroplane ! Leaving Ireland next week for France   :D

Fred
