Painting Your Falco
Posted: Tue Aug 10, 2021 6:01 am
I have been pondering over this for a long time without resolution - how do you paint a Falco?
Please share your insights in respect of a. materials used and b. method.
The latter is important as I have previously resprayed 5 aircraft, but they all had the significant advantage of removeable wings and easily defined areas that could be segregated so that spraying could occur in relatively small sections in a planned sequence to avoid overspray contamination. The Falco's round fuselage and non removeable wings make it a problem. Even spraying the underside of the mainplane is a burden.
I have had excellent results using a two part polyurethane with a elasticizer on my Super Cub and others. I have some thoughts on the method but would love to hear about yours.
Thanks in advance.
