There is no "attempt", only "do" or "do not"... and you did great!

Bouschka · 09-05-2009, 10:26 PM

Here's my first go at it. Can't wait to take what I learned and turn it on a fresh canvas! Thanks to everyone who posted help on this topic. You helped make it a fun and rewarding experience.

My 1st attempt at painting a heli. It is the stock Rappy 50 canopy (bleach bottle plastic). A bit of a chellenge, but I was satisfied with the result. Nothing fancy, but hopefully you'll think it's nice and clean. Ultra 7000 auto finish & clear coat over Bulldog spray adhesive promoter/primer. I've not flown her yet. The paint appears to be well adheared, but after all I've read I have visions of her shaking paint off like a dog shakes water off when I fire her up... we'll see!

Hi...
Here is my first go... thought I would start on something small and cheap..

RotaryBliss · 09-06-2009, 05:52 PM

allancbs · 09-13-2009, 08:47 PM

My latest 600 canopy, scaled up my 450 design and enhanced it a bit.

Man, that 600/450 design is amazing

HK450NZ · 09-23-2009, 02:35 AM

Hey Guys,

Here are a couple of new canopy's. The white one is a standard 600 shape mad with carbon lay-up in the screen area. And the other one is a custom made mold for 450 size made completely out of carbon.

Cheers from New Zealand

Here's my R90 Milk Jug Canopy, Spray can Painted & then Automotive clear coated! Canopy, fins & landing gear flame treated over stove prior to painting. Paint is holding up extremely well on canopy!

dauste · 09-26-2009, 01:15 PM

This was my first ever attempt at painting anything, Furion stock plastic canopy using inkjet decals a very dodgy airbrush and decanted paint from rattle cans.

DriveWRX · 09-26-2009, 05:56 PM

dauste,

Nice job!
Great colors and design.
I really like the bullet holes...

dauste · 09-26-2009, 06:42 PM

Thanks! I'm glad you like it. Here is another slightly more basic one I did afterwards for my flying buddy.
