OK, I just ordered one. You guys are so nice, informative and eager to provide answers, I couldn't help myself. MotionRC, you did it again.
I'll probably end up either selling my FMS 1700mm cheap to another local flyer or just give it away to a friend I fly with. It's well used and beat up to me but to someone else, I think it'll be a welcome addition.

Hey Alpha...you know I'm a nut for painting projects and once again you've blown me away with your talent with an airbrush. Here's what I did recently on a 1:32 scale static model but please tell me...did you start over with pre-shading and re-do all the color, or did you add lighter shades over the stock paint to get the in-panel fading? Beautiful, and what an awesome subject bird...thanks!!! I'm also "spousally challenged" when it comes to adding to the hanger, but it's just a matter of time until the birdcage finds its way here!!

AS someone who build for a living I will tell you step one is to never use black on anything. Pretty much never. Always use dark greys light greys browns mixed with purples.

You see people using black way to much. If anything lets say for exhaust start out with a splurge of nato black or better yet German field grey. Then work your way into light tans and browns to fade it out. Then hit the beginning of streak with a grey purple mix. Gives it that perfect hue of wtf color is that lol. Like this pic. Everything your eye is telling IS black isnt not even close. But when you use black on a model its to stark and make everything around it look instantly fake and not to scale. FWIW YMMV .2cents yadda yadda Hey where is pappy?

Great advice from a pro. I can't wait to get my hands on one and give it my best attention. These are perfect weathering canvases, especially the -1A. That's why I think I am leaning towards the -1A first.
