0 blcksilv08 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 What type of paint is used? Is there a clear coat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 fly4food84 Posted October 4, 2015 Author Share Posted October 4, 2015 Yes, almost positive. https://www.factorydirectmodels.com/ They have some small decals as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 blcksilv08 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I can't say I have personal experience with these, but I have a good friend who has several models plus some large remote control flyers. He has used quick sealant on the ones he fly's then wipes them down with detail spray. As far as the models I know he just uses detail spray. But any wax or sealant in the line up will help with protection against UV on a gloss finish. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 b_pappy Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 I have a few at work (my day job), I wipe them down with Detail Spray, but they are indoors. Quicl Sealant should also work, and I'd try to minimize direct sunlight. Bruce Just checked their website, some decent prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 chops1sc Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Pledge. You laugh, but we use Pledge on plastic models to seal in weathered effects. It protects the finish and allows you to add more layers of weathering! Rich 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
