Quality work and great information as usual Scott. Absolutely love following along as you put this beautiful bird together. Already looking forward to the next installment. Cheers!
👍👍👍👍Excellent video, detailed and informative, I'm definitely going to try using this painting technique and on fabric-covered model aircraft. Your final finish on the Sopwith Camel is perfect. thanks Cheers Paul
I’ve been binge watching your videos of this beautiful build because I’ve been thinking of an Bosley aircraft for quite some time, on and off. Beautiful work!! I’m getting the itch again lol. I saw the video of the Nanchang you posted awhile ago, because I fly a Yak52 here in the states. Can’t wait for more videos!
I sprayed 40 litres of that yesterday. Not so much fun as on an airplane but it's great paint! I'll tell clients from now on they 'paint planes' with it, doncha know.
G'day Scott, It looks great. As long as the Latex Paint can cope with the odd washover of spilled fuel, without reverting to a Goopy mess, or slowly washing off in the slipstream-blown hot oily Exhaust-Gasses - then it's the look of the thing which matters. And as long as you're not using the stuff on complicated Woodwork that's going to be out in the Weather...(!) ; when I started watching Engels Coach Shop Channel it surprised me when he showed how badly Wood tends to rot away underneath Latex Housepaint... If the Wood wasn't already dry enough to prevent Rot, when "encapsulated" in the Latex - it merrily rots away under the Paint ; and if there's a hole in the Paint where Water can get in there - the moisture soreads out through the Wood and then it can't evaporate..., so apparently lots of people show up at his Workshop wanting Wagon Wheels rebuilt after they'd painted everything with Latex a decade earlier... Kind of a Segue in this context, but worth knowing about, I reckon. Such is life, Live a good one... ;-p Ciao !
Very nicely done, Scott! Great paint job! The acrylic/latex housepaint is the way to go, it's flexible and durable, and has a wide variety of colors available. I wish I'd switched to a longer knap roller when painting, you're saving a lot of time with it! Question about your firewall (from the earlier video): will you have a heat blanket and/or fireproof layer on the firewall? Here, the FAA has requirements for the resistance of firewall material to heat and corrosion. Maybe "Experimental" status avoids these, but for my SE5a, I used Robert's aluminum firewall as a pattern, and used galvanized steel for the installed firewall to satisfy FAA's needs. I plan to add a heat resistant blanket material on the cockpit side, to keep things cool. I'm looking forward to how you'll make the Camel's "hump" of course! Keep cranking forwards! John SE5a
Thank you for sharing this. Dulux Weathershield Maxiflex paint is only available in Australia. I contacted Dulux in France, they have no equivalent for Europe. If anyone knows of another brand available in Europe.

Cheers! More to come.
Two videos in one week? You spoil us!
Really appreciate this kind of look into the process. Thank you.
Glad you like it!
Amazing finish.,,looking at the finished product one would never have known it was a roller.
It was a challenge to get such a smooth finish!
Nice one Scott looking forward to the good stuff coming soon .
More to come!
Brilliant reference - there speaks the voice of experience from a man that understands his materials - thank you!
Thank you
Great video Scott, completes the steps you go through in-between each video. The "boring" stuff.😅
Cheers
Yes the in-between stuff is important!
Who said that watching paint drying isn't exciting , thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Can't wait to see this fly! Fantastic build.
Me too!

Thank you, there is obviously quite a lot of problem solving but very rewarding

Exactly.
Looking fantastic, Scott 😊
Thank you kindly

I appreciate it, I'm enjoying the process! Firewall is standard at this stage.
Excellent!
Thank you! Cheers!
is there a weight build up with latex vs the usual methods (dope, Stits, etc,)
That's what I was thinking. Would be interesting to see the weight increase with each coat.
Not sure guys, paint is very thin at 4:1, you would do that many full coats on your walls, 3 tops. Weight wise, I have no idea. It is what it is.
Thank you! How well does the latex paint hold up to gas and oil? What about a UV barrier?
10 year guarantee on your house to UV and I tested raw fuel and oil no problem
im building a 1/3 scale r/c 30's biplane hence the question. might be something to consider (latex paint) as a paint method........
Just check it against your fuel first if your using methanol still
@@scottmatthews5280 forgot to say it's electric, sorry Sir!
Isn’t the latex paint comparatively heavy.
I guess it would be, but on this project weight is no issue.
Scott. How many coats. I sorry if I didn’t catch it
Two coats of Stewart system, two coats of grey paint, 4 to 5 top coats of colour sanding between each coat.

If anyone knows of another brand available in Europe.
Keep it simple, just use your local exterior house paint.
