GOOD LUCK,

Hi Miles,
Been thinking about your idea of painting the model.
The model is white because it is an alpha build. Almost camoflauged it like the originals. If the parts don't fit, a repaint after adjusting the parts has to be done. Sometimes this can be complicated.
Far better to do a white alpha build.
The added bonus on this model is, lines were printed on the wings etc. where the ribs lined up. When gluing it was easy to run the bead down the line knowing that the ribs were lined up. Basically I buillt the wing "Insideout" compared to normal builds.
1200 deg F [649 deg C] temp Barbeque paint might up the flash point of the paper. This is good. Bad is the weight gain.
I'd rather not do this, but since you brought it up, realize it should be an option. Only testing will show if it is needed.
Thank you!
Best regards,
Mike Bauer
