I've been gradually building larger sized mid-power models over time leading up to (finally!) my L1. Up until now nothing has been bigger than 3" dia ( a Cherokee G that I obtained here on TRF) and I've been using rattle can paint for all of these projects. Usually suspend the subject horizontally and spray paint the thing moving from side-to-side. I find that reduces the chances (at least for me) of a run... esp. when using rusto 2x! What I'm wanting to do now however is get a larger fiberglass subject (such as CW's full scale HV-Arcas). This is around 8 feet in length... and I'd need at least 6-9 cans of paint. I'm wondering what experienced folks might be using for these considerably larger subjects. I'm guessing an airbrush arrangement is necessary but I suspect it's not going to be something small!
Let me in on your favorite method/equipment etc. when you're working on something big.
Thanks!
