Part 5. Wing works
I began assembling the three part upper and lower wings as well as the tail flying surfaces. The main wings have small resin pegs and holes in the mold for attachment points. I don?t feel that they would be of sufficient strength to hold it together so I added brass rod attachments. A little filler was required at the seams
Next I primed them with Tamiya white rattle can primer.
Then I began cleaning up the tail parts and primed them. I added brass attachment pins to these parts as well. I had to take care when making the attachment point holes in the fuselage because of the unusual elevator design.
After priming, I masked the main wing spars and painted them and the lower surfaces a dark brown color. I then drew in the wing spars with an orange Posca paint pen. Finished with penciled in support wires
Tomorrow I will paint the first coat of Vallejo aged white over the upper surfaces
I also added the tail skid and repainted the (now what I believe to be) underside fuel tank a grey green color.
Thanks for looking in!
