Custom RC planes. IMG heavy

Post by flyboy_fx » Sat Oct 01, 2011 8:34 am

Well, here is what I have finished up! They are just some foam planes from Parkzone. I think they came out great for just being foam!!! :D
I think the spitfire and P47 came out the best!

The BF109 is not based after anyone. The markings are not of any plane. :P It came out okay...

The spitfire was flown by F/O Neville Duke 92Sqn QJ-3, Sicily 1943. The undersides are not perfect match to Azure blue. The blue I needed was out of stock so I tried mixing my own. Looks okay... :P

The P47 is of Francis Gabreski. If you don't know who he is you have problems. :lol:

There are a bagillion different takes on his scheme. I chose a dark sea green over green with light grey undersides. I think it looks good!!!
All the markings where made with cardstock stencils. You can not use masking tape on foam. :| It peels up the paint...
I also built some functioning inboard gear doors! They are too cool!!! 8) :lol:


Also note, these planes where all finished in the time span of like 3 days... :shock: :o I wanted to get them ready for an RC even but it seams it will be too windy. :cry: THe only day I could actually go and the wind picks up...
I am totally sleep deprived from staying up till 3-4 am working on planes, then waking up at 9:30 and repeating. :lol: :shock: :roll:

Look Great! Looking more like scale models than RCs. Get some scale pops and they could probably pass for real ones. Nice Work!

That's a lot of work accomplished in what sounds like three L-O-N-G days. Nice job!

Great work on the planes. The Gabreski P-47 looks awesome. I wish I could do work like this in a 3 day span.
