RC Plane Depron Forming - Spitfire Fuselage

Making of a scratchbuild Spitfire from 3mm and 6mm Depron sheets. To form the fuselage, I'm using a technique with tape and heatgun.

Excellent. It really looks like a late marque Spitfire.

That's a stunning looking model and it seems to fly very well too.

impressive work, thank you for sharing

Isnt it crazy, arf companies would charge easily $200-$300 usd for that, which can be made from $5 woth of depron, lol. Fun is in flying, but crafting something with your own two hands is priceless.

Great looking model. I might have to try this sometime.

Excellent job and very impressive moulding technique. Did you cover the depron with anything ( glass cloth or paper) before painting?

[richardjohnholdenra]

Great idea, is there another name for depron? How thick? 3mm? Im looking for foam here in the Philippines but cant find anything good

Great video, thank you. I would have thought after heating the tape for 15 minutes the glue from the tape would be impossible to remove from the depron but you seem to do it, so I guess it's not that hard?!

Watch this video with closed captioning enabled. It is hilarious!!

Nice technic ... can you please tell us what material you use for fuselage moulding ?

[Fluxx_Shorts]

Is there a way to curve foam board into a circular fueselage without a mold?

[JohnSmith]

Informative. I have a question. Did you remove the tape once the fuselage sides were molded?

[perrymamas]

What brushless motor, propeller, battery and ESC did you use? I want to try and make this legendary spitfire.
