    Align AH-1 Super Cobra build thread

    What paint did you use?

    I've found it tricky to get stuff to stick in the past... The best results I've had we're using etch primer first, but even then it can chip off with a bit of a bang or scrape.

    You're brave painting it assembled! I would be too worried about paint getting into bearings etc.
