Looks fantastic! 👍 Few Q's: Did you detach the body before painting? Did you remove the original paint or how did you prep the body before painting? Lastly, did you apply a clear coat finish with something like Minwax Polycrylic? TIA!

I kept the body intact, but removed the gear and rotor blades. I masked the main rotor head and the tail rotor motor. I wiped the body down with a paper towel to remove any dirt or dust and shot directly over the factory paint and decals. The factory paint is a great primer. I decided against adding a clear coat as it was already very glossy and I had a lot of coats of paint on the helicopter already and didn't want to add anymore weight to it. Normally, I spray Rustoleum 2X clear or brush on Varathane over the models to seal them, but didn't on the Eclipse. It was a fun project and really turned out well.
