Elbee outstanding as usual, can't wait for the next installment of "RC Building hosted by Elbee". Next time, do a video with short clips for the entire build, it would have been much better to watch then anything on the tube lately! So are you also installing the 12 blade inrunner? That's what I'm very anxious to hear about.
I don't want to sound presumptive and I'm certainly not the one to recommend any painting technique, especially to the "Master", but I tried something for the first time when I re-painted my F-18 that, for me anyway, worked wonders. I hand painted 2 light coats of clear gloss water based Spar Urethane to all of the foam areas, including the grey underside (which some of that stayed grey). Then when I masked the different areas, using the Tamiya trim tape and the larger home depot trim tape for delicate surfaces, not a spec of base coat paint came off when removing the tape, which was the first time that's ever happened. In the past, even spraying a white primer on the entire plane first, pieces still used to come off even with the Tamiya tape. I'm going to give it a try again on the A-10 since some of the grey will also stay. Anyway, just a thought from a dangerous mind.
