    Thanks

    Fairly easy for small models and numebrs, get a large strong cardboard box, mount a coupel of PC fans WITH filters and run then up to creat positive pressure in the box and spray away. It usually needs a couple of baffles to stop the airflow mucking up your paint dispersal.

    For more premanent, build it out of MDF and use kitchen fans and filters.

    Do a goodle search on diy paint booths and you'll get hundreds fo ideas and plans. it makes a big diffrence and saves all that fixing after

    Thanks, never would have thought of that...

    White decals? bummer. Would it be worth trying to pain the stripes?

    Please refer to my post re painting in Wouters Red Bull thread. Really youve done a great job painting the rest, I thought you could nail it.
