Hi, guys!
Here's a Deffkopta squad that I've painted as a gift for a friend's birthday. They all have magnetized propellers, so they can be replaced at any time and save a lot of space when transporting, not to mention they won't break as easily.
Painting-wise, there is this guys, which I have painted as a reference model. He took me about 5 hours to do with an average of 5 or 6 layers of color per surface. It's not in perfect shape, but it was my first ever painted kopta
The other 4 were speed-painted (sort of) in about 6 hours. You may notice the rivets are not done, weathering is minimal (if any) and the skin is less detailed than on the first one.
Oh and the headlight is not painted in any of them.
For colors, it pretty much follows the color scheme of the Nob that I've previously painted
