Making a Warfighter - RC Warbird Painting & Weathering

Here is my repaint and weathering video for the Legend Hobby A-1 Skyraider 86" ARF (https://bit.ly/A1Skyraider). I absolutely love how the airplane came it, it completely transformed the model and seeing it in flight, it legit looks real! In the video I cover painting camouflage and applying, panel lines, and my whole assortment of tricks for weathering. I also touch on the prep work I did on the full stores loadout. The techniques shown in this video are transferable to any size of model large or small. However, it is important to note that the model comes covered in iron on mylar material that is flat clear coated at the factory. That clear makes painting the covering extremely simple. Without it, considerable prep would be required to paint over the mylar covering. Full article is available at thercgeek.com/blog #Skyraider #TheRCGeek #Weathering
