Hello,
It's in primer now! So nice not to see that yellowish colour anymore. The primer revealed more pinholes from bubbles. I'm annoyed at the amount of shrinkage on the Squadron Putty though. That hole under the cowling was flush with the surface when the putty was wet. PPP didn't want to stick to the resin, and I hope it will stick to the primer now. I'll also have to sand and fill where the rear of the coaming meets the fuselage, and clean up the CA mess at the front. Tailplane to fuselage join needs filler, and I need to tidy up where the baffle joins the cowling. No surprises, really, as I expected another round of filler and primer.

More filling and sanding underneath as well. The rear of the wing to fuselage join looks great though, I'm very happy about how that turned out. And the primer to thinner ratio is about 2 to 1, with 23 psi and airbrush needle wide open. It is still thin, not like using an aerosol can that can soak the model in primer if one isn't careful. I'm getting the hang of it.

I was hoping to get some aluminum sprayed on the cowling today, yet life got in the way and I'm tired now.
Cheers,
Wlad
