How long to get to a point where 'diving stations' can be piped do you think Brian?

Got to open up vents on the clear side then lots of masking and paint, fit sections in the main hull and then put it all together educated guess 3-4 weeks

Aft section all drilled out, masked and primed






Managed to stay away for a whole one day

The lower hull is almost black hope it looks ok

[Bri62]

The vents don't look opened up but they are there just taped up from the inside

[Bri62]

guys what's a good aerosol satin varnish?

[Andy the Sheep]

My experience with Humbrol Satin Cote is good.

Thx Andrea I'll have a look

[Bri62]

Sunday mornings progress I need some sort of protection for the paint (I keep knocking it)



Found some army painter satin varnish and give it a coat of that

Aft section more or less finished apart from a few small pieces and the weathering.
