R/C Plane AeroScout Adding a Mouth and covering crash damage tips

This is just my way of trying to repair and cover damage on a foamie model. Please add any other tips in the comments. I wanted to see if I could use Hard As Nails as a filler and so far it is staying nicely in place. It really fills the cracks well. But then paint needs to be lightly sprayed over so as to blend it with the natural foam colour.
The final repair looked good but was then further improved by replacing the creased stickers. I could not get regular stickers so adding teeth. Now the damage is hard to spot and just looks like regular heavy landing marks.
There is an earlier video on how I made the initial repair using UHU glue and Araldite Epoxy glue for the wood.

Nice job Laurie. You really love this hobby!

[@Calvertfilm]

Yeah I suppose I do :-) plus it was an interesting challenge to see how well I could repair it using these methods.

Hey Jim, cheers, hope you're alright.

I own the sister to this Horizon AeroScout, the ESky Eagles. It doesn't come with SAFE on a Spektrum receiver, rather it was a kit that I assembled. When putting it together, I browsed some crash videos of the AeroScout, in order to glean any weak spots. Where it seemed weak, I applied 1.5mil lamination film, mostly around the nose, and the tail boom. The Hulk would have a hard time separating the steering servo tray, as I _went to town_ with 2-part epoxy and a lamination layer on each side. This thing is now a TANK. Love how it flies on iNav, and have picked up a few spare canopies - one for a panning servo for the FPV camera, the other just a fixed FPV camera. I punched a few holes, then epoxied small carbon tubes, as HD camera mounts, a trick I saw years ago on a Skywalker. Oh, and a big fat 21700 Li-Ion pack gives you flight time for days! Love what you're doing here, Sir, she looks Mean!

Some good tips here. This plane has a few weak spots. That nose wheel is another. Thanks for your comment.

A brilliant cover up. Can you please tell me where you got the decal from and the brand name>? I am in Canada and can't find any stickers like the size you have anywhere. They are all are ment to be put on Kayaks or full size cars. As well, can you send the dimensions of the mouth and eye? Thank you.

[@Calvertfilm]

Thanks for your comment. I don't know a brand name but I'll post a link. I got it from an eBay seller. It is a 200mm Kayak sticker, as you surmised. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/263468945889?var=562498305567

I can see you had some Aeroscout stickers on the bench there, did you buy those replacements separately, or get them custom made?

[@Calvertfilm]

Actually they were the original stickers that I removed but it was impossible to save them. I couldn't find any replacements, hence went for shark teeth instead.
