Spraying a large plane, nightmare!

I use a small plastic container (here it's what small fried rice, from chinese takeway comes in) then that sits on a lazy susan and I will paint one side first. Then that sits in a 50 litre plastic container thats on it's side (hopefully it catches any overspray), the only problem I have is with the wingspan not fitting or bumping when I spin the lazy susan.

cheers

Interesting method Colin

It's not the first time I've hung a model for spraying. My 1:72 B36 Peace maker was first !

Carrot cake

Carrot and cake just doesn't make sence. But, it's lovely.

I use the old plastic box and pipe insulation, even for big models like this 1/32 scale Bf 110.







In 1/72nd you can be more creative. This is the broken drill bit through the propeller hole method.

That's a 1:72 P12 sat on the wing. At the moment, It hangs up in my garage. It's about 27 inches long, and 37 inches wide.


And that's the Airfix 1:72 Vulcan underneath it. But, there is about 30cm vertical separation to take into account.
