Morning everyone, do hope your Thanksgiving was that good as in the past.
As you can see Hulk Jr. is getting ready for that paint job. He's covered in Scotch Brand Clear Packing Tape. I got a Rust-Oleum 2X Ultra Cover (Paint + Primer) Gloss "Colonial Red" from Walmart. Don't worry I'll get those wrinkles out on the tail section before painting. I cut up a 3x5 card to cover the third crew member's compartment. When dry will make a jump seat with console for it. Then cover with a clear plastic dome. Landing gear assembly can be removed prior to painting. Whole Sky Crane will be in red including the cockpit and turbines that way don't have to mask it off. Then I'll hand paint these areas with acrylic colors to showcase the details. Decals with lettering will make on my computer. Had to re-order servos because they sent me the wrong ones
. Wasn't a happy camper, Got ones with plastic gears when I requested metal. So that will slow the process a little. But it's coming along and please with the results. Your words of encouragement and assistance are greatly appreciated. Hopefully next photos will be a complete Hulk Jr. prior to ground testing
