Looking for RC Model World back issue
Chris Bowes replied to Chris Bowes's topic in RCM&E Plan Builders
Thanks, had seen that but the problem I have is I don't know the issue it appeared in. The magazine cover photos on the site are not high enough resolution either to make out any detail to try and browse through and find it. -
Hi All, I recently acquired plans for a small pylon racer to build for our club "air races" we are planning for when we can get back to flying which were published in RC Model World some time after July 1994. It's a Feigling MW2450 designed by Nigel Bathe. I'd like to see if I can get a copy of the supporting article from when it was published if possible. Would anyone have back issues dating back around then and be willing to help identify the issue it appeared in? Would be much appreciated if so.

Also came across this which I may tackle

Nice model Alan Have been researching possible schemes for my KI-61, doesn't seem to be a huge amount of scale schemes for reference but may do the middle of these three:

Great info there guys, thanks, as with most things in this hobby there is definately more than one way to crack a nut when it come to painted finishes, but your photos show that a great result is possible with different methods.

Thanks again for the replies. I should maybe of mentioned in my original post that the project is an electric powered funfighter, a Kawasaki Hien from Cambria Models. Being a simple, low cost and fully sheeted build I thought it would be a good candidate to do my first fibreglass and paint job on. Not settled on a scheme for it yet, either scale or other. I am going to invest in some spray equipment as I have a few other projects which I will be moving on to afterwards and for which I will be covering in a similar way (and a long wish list of scale projects after that !) I have been looking at getting a compressor and airbrush, but am thinking that an airbrush is not going to cut it alone when you are spraying larger models and/or large single block colours. That, I would assume, would need a spray gun. What kind of setups are you running?

Thanks for the reply Martin.

Hi all, I am taking my first steps in painting my first fully fibreglassed model and looking for input on readily available and current choices for primers, top coats and varnishes. First questions on primer, should I be using a high build primer or "normal" primer first? Halfords seems a go to place, just wondered if there are other easy options? I am a decorator and have easy access to Dulux Trade paints and varnishes, has anyone used and what results did you get? I am thinking of mixed tester pots of Matt emulsion and then a final coat of Dulux Trade Diamond glaze - a water based varnish recommended for floors (I have it in my stock, data sheets mentions it is a vinyl - urethane copolymer emulsion). I would be airbrushing on and have seen other advice on thinning with screen wash or acrylic thinners.
