I found them very easy to use with their own thinner . 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kev67 Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Excellent build, really nice paint camo, these Pucaras were hastily painted over the natural metal, some still showed this more in certain areas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't tell you how much, I just packed it in until I didn't have anymore space for it, I might have used too much but better safe than sorry. I even added weight in the forward part of the engine cowlings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where on earth did all that weight you mentioned actually fit!? Pete Thanks, the weight (Liquid gravity) is all crammed in and around the cockpit , every spare space. I also used the front of the engine cowlings. 4 hours ago, Josh G said: Brilliant job. Do you remember roughly what ratio of white paint you had to add to the main camouflage colours? Thank you. no exact ratios I'm afraid I just kept adding white until it looked right. The top colours were actually painted twice , 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
