I have looked everywhere for info on repainting these 400mm kits, you have literally answered every question perfectly!! mahoooooosive thanks.....and man does your zero look the part!
Ah thanks, that is good to know. On my channel there is a Warhawk and Mustang repaint too. With these two I used Vallejo paints and an airbrush. The advantage here was less weight added at just 1-2 grams, whereas this Zero took on board another 10 grams in paint. It still flies fine but cannot recover as well when it stalls at slow speed yet flies a little more stable in a gusty wind.
Love that bit of history and new paint job! I marked mine with a gray maker to look like turtle shell camo, I seen it done on other Japanese planes, don't know how historically accurate it is but it looks good.

Ah nice collection there. I have posted a previous video of all eight that I have. Now they only make seven, and I don't have the Trojan, so the others are explained as previous models I have modified if you wish to see - P40 and Mustang plus I have the originals of those. Cheers, for your comment.
Thanks, I bought the decals online from eBay. 1/24th scale I used as they are near enough. Techmod was the make and they were not cheap. 3D pilot cost a few quid, plus the paint, overall about £20 more cost to the plane.
1/24th decals and I got them from eBay. Weren't cheap but worth it I thought. The wing ones were the same size but the fuselage roundals were a little larger, ok though for this model.
Hi well since I added the paint it weighs 11g more, and that does mean it can stall easier but it was worth it for the looks (video on my channel a few months ago). Mind you before I painted it it flew as good as any of the others. Terrific little fliers I think. @@jaimemacias826
Gday to you too. Interesting question. Maybe someone has done it on RUclips? I don't know as I haven't opened up a transmitter. Mind you the sticks are fixed into the body. Not sure if inside the spring mechanism can be swapped for the throttle/elevator either. It might require surgery on the sticks. These planes can be connected to a regular transmitter using the V761 protocol but you may lose aerobatics function (never done it myself but videos are on RUclips), so that way you could get it mode 1. You can buy spare transmitters to experiment. If you find out please let me know.
Hi I have the Volantex Spitfire and when I unplug the flight battery from airplane the transmitter starts beeping after about 3 seconds..... I have the BF109 And the A6m zero also and the transmitters for those aircraft don’t beep continuously after unplugging their flight battery’s...the battery’s in my transmitters are brand new so was wondering if your Spitfire transmitter does the same?
Hi. I must admit all of my transmitters do not make that beeping sound after removal of the plane battery. But then to be fair I normally switch the transmitter off straight away anyway. What you can do is link any transmitter to an aircraft simply by plugging in the plane battery first and then (any) transmitter on, so you could try a different transmitter therefore and test it. That would then set the transmitter to the frequency of that plane. So you would need to put your other plane back on and repeat the procedure to link it back up after. Hope that makes sense. You can buy transmitter separately if it was faulty.
Thank you for the advice yes it’s only my Spitfire transmitter that beeps after removing the battery also if the battery is low it also gives a beep well I am guessing it is a low voltage beep strange as my other Volantex transmitters don’t do any of this however the transmitter works the aircraft perfectly so I may try your idea or buy a new transmitter or even an open protocol transmitter and have one transmitter for all of them thank you for your help

Have you got that on video? Sounds cool.

Ohhhh that’s beautiful 😍
Nice one m8.👍
Cheers.
perfect job and this plane I need in my collection of bf109, corsair, spitfire, mustang, trojan :)

Awesome, plane looks amazing. Where did you get the decals.

If you weather it it’ll be perfect
My mate from Sweden weathers his.
Really good!
Great video. What scale were your decals, and where did you purchase them from ? .

Great work 👍👍👍Cheers Andy 🤠
Thanks Andy. Was fun.
you can see it in the battrery compartiment.THANKS.
GOOD VIDEO, can you tell me what colour are the motor wires? This is very impotant for me.THANKS
Blue and red on mine.
ok,thanks very much.What dou you think about the performance of this plane?@@Calvertfilm

Gday mate do u think it’s possiable to mechinally reverse sticks to mode 1 as this model is only available in mode 2

@@chrisrc845 Let me know how it goes if you can. Interesting.
Where did you get the pilot?
EBay. Got three in one go.
