Eflite Carbon z T28 repaint

[t33jetman]

Wow! What a nice fix and repaint!
And taking one step further with the gun pods.

I'm painting my second T28 now and I hope I get it to come out better than my first one. I have to take my time and do it right.

Beautiful repaint,I just finished my 1400mm t28 after a nasty prop explosion,even repurposed the drop tanks from a 70mm fms yak for some under wing gun pods.
Now just waiting on decals.

If you don't want to remove the RED JUST use a primer to cover before painting, it will work I did it on the Blue Angels, but not on my next one tho.

I tried a little wet sanding on one of my Archers last night with good results. I had never done that on a foam model before and was worried, but 2000 grit wet worked great! I really enjoyed the tips in your video and looking forward to putting them to use in the future. Going to try the acetone to remove red on aircraft that I want white. Got some bleed through on the last project I did.

I just RIP them off.
I never care about decal removal , because I use Minwax and foam filler coating to cover up any imperfections.

Some guys use ice rubbed on to take the decals off, seams to work. Give that a try.

Another T28 is in for a new paint job this one will not take as long because I know what I'm doing this time. Acetone is used to remove the RED. Keep it away from plastic.

Looks great! It was asked earlier, but didn't see an answer...How did you remove the stock decals/stickers so it had the least effect on the foam? Thanks.

Fantastic job! Can't believe they discontinued this plane.

I know what I will be watching during my lunch break today! I am looking to improve my method of painting foam before I repaint my new E-Flite Cherokee. I had good results in the past on foam, but repainting my Parkzone Archer this summer didn't turn out well. It was bad enough to make me rethink my methods before attempting the Cherokee. Painting white seems to be the biggest issue. I had been using the natural foam in the past instead of painting white over it. The Archer was the first time I decided to paint the entire plane white and that is when I realized I wasn't happy with the results. Painting other colors over already painted foam (example would be the red tails and wing tips on an OD B-17) turned out very well. White over natural foam turned out horrible. Greatly looking forward to your video as your results indicate you are one that I can surely learn from!

Very nice. What lighting system did you use?

Mine is grounded due to a failed gear. Flew it one day, and it was fine. Put it together the next and one of the gear was inop. Waiting for replacement to get in stock. Or if anyone knows of better replacement gear I'd love to know.

Beautiful job
