Eflite Carbon z T28 repaint

Hey Jman, I've been following. Is the flight metal on the prop?

Woody

Yes it is. Have no problems flying with it after balancing.

Turning out pretty good! Did you notice some rough texture on the foam surface when you peeled off the factory decals? I am playing around with different methods of painting foam and I can't get around how bad the foam surface looks when the decals are removed.

Did you get any tips on removing decals from foamies?

Rub decals with ice to remove them

I was wondering where you've been. New T-28 looks excellent mate.

Thanks for remembering me. Life and work just get in the way of my hobby sometimes.

That's why I've said the the past, I do this painting when I can for fun because I work all the time. Just think what I could do if I could retire.

The ice trick worked good for me. Rub it as long as you need to to get the decal to release without damaging the foam. Dont be in a hurry it will come out great.

I did start a new thread on another paint job for my Fox Citizen glider

Hey Mate!

Nice, thanks for the info. In Woodcocks world I view lights a basic nonsense in my models. Just one more thing to fail or be the cause of ultimate disaster. I never use them, ever. But if I did, this would be something I would consider. Its funny T33, when flying I wouldn't ever even notice them. It took me a while to notice I very rarely even retract my gear LOL. No offence meant, as I think of you as one of my friends here, and would never intend offence toward you mate, you do beautiful work man.

Nice work mate.

Best Regards
Woody

Got rid of the fake nav. Lights and added some LED navigation lights, with clear half domes on both planes today.

Nice mod, T33jetman! Is that a 5mm or an 8mm LED? It looks good. Your meticulous rivet detailing looks sharp, too.

It's been a long time but I can now say they are both flight
ready.
