The CEV used an Heinkel 274 in 1948. I will scan photographs from the book Vols d’Essais, le centre d’essais en vol de 1945 à 1960, Jean Claude Fayer, E.T.A.I.2001

Small air forces

And now, all aircrafts of the Cameroon Air Force in 1979

When I started, I used the spare wheel as storage for compressed air. I went to the petrol station and reached 7 bars which was sufficient to spray for about twice as long as with the liquid propellant.

Nowadays, you can find decent compressors in the 50 euros range.

If spray alot you’ll find decent compressor with tanks starting from 150 euros going up to 500.

Besides the dilution that you will achieve by trial and errors, you should use decent plastic hoses as some transparent ones deteriorate under the heat of the compresses air and blow charred remnants in your nice paint.

My experience was mainly limited to Humbrol brands with exception of liquaplate.

If you want to achieve special effects such as using acetone based paints (very unhealthy), I would advise you to refer to modelling magazines.

Last remark, mind you all solvants and the propellant from the Humbrol cans are highly flammable.

Yes Martin, again I can trust that with your immense knowledge, the answer is readily available

I can’t read the registration of the red flyer. Would you give the identification please.

Marine engines are now used in historical racing Maseratis. They are painted blue (colour of the sea)
