Nice!

The hull masked off and finished with two coats of red below the waterline. 
It was sprayed with a rattle can of red rust paint.
Spray painting done outside...otherwise that is where I would be living if I painted the hull inside the house.

HOT OFF THE PRESS
Sometimes I need to explain myself. A few months after I bought these 2 beautiful planes,  a friend offered me his 7 year old Tevo Tarantula, 3D printer and I gladly took it off his hands. Now I have been busy downloading files off Thingiverse learning how to use the printer. I now find myself wanting a second printer.

So I am selling these 2 planes that I bought to help me in my quest for another printer.
Sorry no batteries.

2 for $350
UMX WACO $150.00
UMX P51-D $200.00 Brand New, never flown

How to paint a proper waterline: A hull has compound curves so nothing is straight in order to paint a waterline.  On this project the top of the hull will be black.  Below the waterline will be red....because it has to be.

To paint the waterline:
step 1: transcribe the waterline from the plans to the bow and the very stern.  It is measured up or down from a fixed point.  The waterline at the stern was measured from the bottom of the hull which was a corner so very reliable.  The bow was measured from the chine.
step 2: set the hull on a flat surface and position it so the bow and stern marks are an equal distance from the top of the table. Now the fire and aft marks are set.
step 3: set the hull level (left to right) until the left and right sides are exactly the same distance from the table top.  Note: I could not use a spirit level to measure "level" because the railings are not an equal height above the deck (not my fault. Ask the original builder).
step 4: clamp an ink marker in a holder and run it from bow to stern and around the other side.  It worked surprisingly well.  I used a solder clamp stand to hold the pen in the correct position.

A lot easier than I thought.

Now mask this line to paint the hull.
