Oh yeah, just love that vintage look. Your TWA Livery is Sweet. Trying to find someone who can modify one into
a L1011.

Anyone can say what’s the best type of paint to spray my AL37 I want to make it a shiny white the base white ain’t that shiny I don’t want to damage the fuselage.

Rustoleum 2x Paint and Primer works great on EPO foam. Just spray from 1-2 feet away as the propellant would be the only thing that could hurt the foam, but I've paint a ton of Freewing aircraft like that and never had an issue

I've used Testors Model Master Enamels with no trouble what so ever. Pricey but worth it if your looking for specific colors.

on my TWA above, note there's a vinyl striping tape. I applied that as permanent separation between the white and the chrome. then when paint the chrome, the masking film and tape are applied to the vinyl striping. when removed, the sensitive white paint is not affected. the vinyl chrome tape also provides a nice clean linear edge.

I also looked at futaba todd's United classic. the lower red striping would act as masking tape substrate. I'm considering building that livery as well.

I used Rustoleum 2X gloss white on my FedEX and the fuse is shiny white

And another one that leaves me speechless. I am not sure there has been another aircraft with this much customizing enthusiasm surrounding it. Excellent P-8!

It's not even close. In all my 6 years working for Motion RC I have never seen one of our models with such a fantastic, diverse customization of liveries. Just incredible.
