Hey folks, is there a certain kind of Krylon spray can paint that I can spray over the paint on this plane without causing an issue? Will it stick without any prep?

I haven't had an issue with any enamel spray cans not sticking to the factory paint. Some colors obviously are harder to paint over a dark surface...Spraying a few base coats of primer first is never a bad idea though.My YouTube RC videos:

TK or G54, Additionally, did you/anyone cut away the 'small gunsight' to install the large one from the 3DP Cockpit kit? I am wondering if the 'small' gunsight is for the Birdcage version and the 'large' one is for the Bubble version. Any help here would be greatly appreciated. Best, LB

Here are some photos of my reworked canopy. I raised the bottom canopy frames up about a 1/8" to cover the parts of the cockpit side that were showing through. While I was at it I added the two frames on the top of the canopy that were there in earlier bubble top Corsairs and I add a frame where the back and front parts of the canopy would come together if it opened.4 Photos

Excuse me again for an off topic question but I've looked at most of the HSquawk threads relative to P51D Mustangs and found most of the information and discussions on a P51D is very dated (8 - 10 moths old). I bought a FMS 1450 V8 P51D from MRC. Unfortunately, FMS didn't deliver the real detail and scale AND particularly the "Quality" I expected. I actually just sold it to cover (in part) the cost of the new FL Corsair. Can anyone point me in the right direction for a really quality P51D? THX - Grover54

Subtle, not to much and not to little!
Looks great to me!:Cool:
