We suggest:
1. Painting the front of the fuselage, the landing gear struts, and the wing tip skids brown to look like varnished wood. Do
not use thick, heavy paints like epoxy or enamel on these large areas of the model. We prefer thinned SIG Supercoat
Dope or "waterbased acrylic craft paint" (see note below). One coat is usually all that is necessary. A completely filled
glossy paint job is not necessary or desirable, and it’s too heavy for this type of model. One coat usually achieves the
"old time" look we are after.
* Water-Based Acrylic Craft Paint: These very inexpensive paints are sold in the craft departments of stores such as Wal-
Mart, K-Mart, and similar outlets. They seem to be manufactured under many different brand names, such as Delta
Ceramcoat and Apple Barrel Colors. They are available in a huge variety of colors. We found that thinning these paints
with equal amounts of water produced nice results, when either brushed or sprayed, with very little weight build-up.
Clean-up is also easy, using just warm water.
2. We’ve tried a variety of colors for the balsa wheels on our prototype Antoinette models: gray to simulate steel wheels,
brown for wood wheels, or black like the original Antoinette in the Paris Musee d’Air museum. It’s your choice and a
matter of personal preference.
3. The amber colored surgical tubing that is provided for the tires can be easily dyed black with regular household variety
Rit Dye. That looks good with gray or brown wheels. The Antoinette in the Paris museum has gray tires on black wheels.
4. The dummy engine, dummy gas tank, and other small scale details were also painted to improve their scale appearance.
These parts were painted with Testors Model Master paints, using the spray can products whenever possible. This is
enamel paint, primarily marketed for plastic models, but it is thin enough that it can be used on our small parts without
appreciable weight build-up. The engine crankcase was sprayed Steel color. The cylinders are Copper, just like the real
Antoinette engine had. The exhaust pipes look good painted with Exhaust Buffing Metalizer. The dummy gas tank looks
great painted Copper, just like on the full-scale Antoinette.
