MPC Lunar Patrol, Part 16 - Painting The Gliders

I'm getting much closer to finally getting this project wrapped up.  On Friday, June 15, I was able to get the gliders outside to shoot the red and black trim colors.

The following photo shows one of the gliders ready for bottom-side black paint.  The entire top surface is masked off.  Looks like some kind of a glider-sickle.  Yummmm....


And... the finished gliders.  Even though rattle can enamel paint is heavy, I am going more for looks on this build, rather than flight performance.  Nevertheless, I still applied only the minimum amount of paint to give good coverage.  I will be happy as long as the gliders exhibit an adequate glide performance in flight.



Next step...pretty them up with some decals.

Stay tuned.
