Wednesday is running night so no work done tonight.

Hope will get something done for tomorrow. This will not be ready for the Kitchener show. :(

Work Interferes with the Build

No work on the build last night as I was getting ready for a presentation.

Base Coat Complete

Finish off the base coat on the lower wing and fuselage tonight.

Disaster Fixed and Back at It

Managed to clean off all the disaster coat and have now put on a first coat from the trusty air brush.
For this coat I am using Tamiya Color XF-57 with my trusty Paasche single action.

Isoprop and White Spirits to the Rescue

Used a small amount of white spirits and then Isoprop to remove all of the paint from the fuselage and wings. Works very well and no need for sanding.

Painting Disaster

Argghhhh! My primer was clumping even after many shakes. Ended with very uneven finish. Trying to rescue the wings and fuselage now.

More work done and an accidental discovery.

Got the engine masked and the tail assembly on.

Now this discovery. I went to use PolyFilla to fill some seams. After I applied it I realized I hadn't used PollyFilla I had applied ceramic tile cement! With visions of the model melting to a pile of goo in front of me spinning in my head I stayed calm and let it dry. Turns out ceramic tile cement is a very good seam filler for plastic models. It spreads easily. Is easy to sand. It also shrinks very little as it dries.
