Very nice job but i have a question ... does the paint increase the weight of the foamy?

Yep. Anything added is going to add weight. It's not enough to worry about though.

Thanks for all the comments. Some of the one's pictured are from a couple years ago. not the best. I have gone through enough foamies to get a little better. Every plane pictured was painted with just using depron as a template or mask. I will be doing a couple more once the hobby shop gets some more depron in. My next one I will show how to do checkers.

I am also working on a video to post here. It will show how to set up the airbrush, how to adjust it and some clips from painting this plane. It will be a couple of weeks for the video though.
