Welcome to Hobby Squawk Tank guy! Well, this episode is dedicated to the painting and detailing of a model, but we do have plans to bring our product manager back on many more times to talk about the other aspects of creating these models from the molding to design and concept, packaging etc.

In the meantime, our product manager did write a pretty detailed article that appeared in Model Aviation magazine a few months ago that goes into some detail on all aspects. Check it out here: https://www.motionrc.com/blogs/motio...tart-to-finish

Again, thanks for joining the Squawk. Stick around, its a great community we have here.

Hey James! looking forward to the show, so during the paint process what type of paint does the factory actually use on these planes? seems most guys have a hard time getting paint to tick to the foam Also would it ever be possible to buy touch up paint from the factory? I know I can go to Lowes or home depot but being able to buy the actual paint used would be awesome!!

More great questions. I'll have Alpha answer these questions for sure ncflyer79 !
