The only orange paint is the fin leading edge (the rest is all done with stickers). There's lots of grey, but that's pretty easy to match. I just mixed black and white acrylic till it looked right.

Haven't looked in here for a while, don't see that 'Tube' guy anymore who was very prolific, where did he go? Don't see any vids of his work of late?

The Feds might have caught up with him

If you lived in the North West of England I could give you as much paint as you want. I mixed my own. The grey is very easy just white and add in some black til it looks right. The orange was a little trickier to make but I'm sure you could do it with a few tints from your local car paint shop. I used 2k basecoat. Gives exactly the same finish when sprayed with an airbrush.

No I’m tother side of hills in God’s country Yorkshire
It’s just a few scratches near battery hatch il break out my Vallejo boxes and look closer at the colour cheers

Can you morph it into weathering?

I just borrowed some tubes of acrylic from my wife's art supplies box, mixed up on an old business card with a cocktail stick. Applied with a brush - looks fine! The grey needs touching in fairly regularly if you want to keep it looking smart, particularly at the wingtips!

That's the way.

edit: like the battery maneuver, video posting also a bad idea

My favorite was trying to stamp out the ignited LiPo with his bare foot.

Thought everyone did that. I'm sure that I read it somewhere that a burning lipo will damage your shoes and socks.
