I'm done building the clone! Now, for paint. The Estes directions say Orange for the Body. Yet, every RM looks red to me. Anyone have suggestions as to paint?
Absolutely go with Red. Krylon is perfect, or if you can get some Zynolite red from your hardware store, it applies even smoother (and is nearly a perfect match on the Krylon red color.)
This is one of my all-time favorite rockets. It was my best build (and finish) as a kid. That model is long gone, but I have the original nose cone! After seeing this thread, I think I'm gonna have to build me a new one!
Great pics everyone!!
Stymye: How did you get that great looking matte finish on your red max??
I always thought of doing the camo in RED with black or grey-black wavy patterns.... Now that I have a good airbrush, I am feeling the need to make a clone and paint it this way sometime this winter.
