Yeah, it's too bad they don't make a couple flat camo colors like tan or dark green. It would be way too easy then!

I know Lexan works well for plastic, however have you tried enamel? I just monokote my RC's, but I do use Topkote's paint for cowlings and such.

I don't remember ever painting film. Plasticjunkie flies 1/4 scale, you may want to send him a PM.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

I posted this same question on the RCgroups forum with zero response. I have a Pilatus Porter that is just perfect for a nice camo paint job. I know you guys paint nice firm stable plastic, but what paints have you used in the past that have remained a little flexible? As I want to do a soft edge camo scheme, I can't do much in the way of surface prep besides cleaning with alcohol. So I'm looking for something that sticks like glue but remains flexible, and it must spray well. Any ideas anyone???
