        The surface detail really starting to shine through after a primer coat.

        Now to address a couple of Joints.

          Back in the Paint booth and forgot to take a pic of the pre-shading before I started the main coat but you get the drift.

            Warren,
            Nice neat build. A quick question why are there two fuselages included in the box?

                  So as Lolo (my wife) would say the stickers are on and sealed with a further gloss coat. Now just need to let this cure before we rub it back and start the ageing process.
