Pretty nice Ryan. Can you elaborate on your technique? I like the silver paint splotches.

I also have been using water based latex paint from Home Depot or Lowes. Since the paint is latex, it flexes with the foam and does not crack. I airbrush it on and use brushes for touch ups. The results have been great. Check out RCG for my pictures of the FW F-14 in Iranian Air Force colors this will give you an idea of what is possible. On hot summer days I thin it down with water. On cooler days I thin it down with el-cheepo rubbing alcohol.

I have filmed some of this process and will until it's finished. Flak Bait is the scheme I'm doing. So be patient and the video will answer a lot of what you wonder. In the meantime YouTube search Salt Chipping and click the video with the Vilkswagon Beetle

Hey Ryan, any chance a 5000 will fit? I bought a 4000 just in case. But I do really like having 5000s for twins.

MOFO1, So your saying you use regular rubbing alcohol or water to thin with? Also, what size of paints does it come in? I can't remember the last time I've been to a Home Depot,

HUH!!??? For this B-26? Motion still says "coming soon" and Grayson says "end of August". If this is right, good news.

Just received my shipping notice. Yay! I am planning to do “Screaming Eagle” as my scheme. Already got the decals from Callie.

Pauly yes I use rubbing alcohol or water to thin down the latex paint. Home Depot will match a paint sample for $4.00 +- in a 8oz sample.I use water when the temp., is above 100 degrees. In the colder months I go with the alcohol. This helps control the evaporation rate. I have had great results with a el-cheepo airbrush from Harbor Tools. I thin the paint to the consistency of milk. Experiment with your airbrush to find what it likes. Check out my Freewing F-14 on RCG with Iranian desert paint scheme, all done freehand with latex paint.

And Finally the Cockpit. With pilot and Co-Pilot included. Print with or without Pilots: https://grabcad.com/library/dynam-b-26-cockpit-1
Oh and to those wondering, the dimensions are good. I've already spoken with Alpha on the New Dynam B-26 Kit in personal messages and emails. And yes I know the pilots suck but they are the best I can do. I don't do pilots but there you go, lol. The cockpit kit is designed so as to not get in the way of the battery compartment. So the only thing you're modifying is the battery hatch, not the space under it.

How do you download the files , I have a friend that has a 3d printer.

Received my shipping notice for my two B-26s. First one out of my hangar will be a silver early war version. Decals are on hand from Callie!
