Terri,
What is your primer of choice?

It all depends Kevin ,

I'll use either a light grey or a neutral grey sometimes even white using Tamiya paints cut with lacquer thinner . Nothing fancy really . I try to keep things simple , I cause myself a enough frustration during a build .

Looking Great Terri. Your approach to primer sounds similar to mine!

Looking forward to seeing top coats going on to this one Terri. It is going to be a very interesting markings scheme.

Thanks Stephen and Marc ,

Turned out be more PE then what I thought and with a nap this afternoon I didn't make it to primer , but everything is ready for tomorrow .

I had the flight controls on the main wings in the wrong place and got them changed around as they should be . The inspection windows are very plain ( no pulley detail ) , They are a prefect fit so that made my life easier !

Thank-you Rick and Stephen , painting has started !

The white has been sprayed and once fully dried it can get masked off for the next shade .
