Finally got off my duff and got some painting done .

First i got all the interiors and hatch doors painted with Zinc Chromate primer. this went very well and looks great.

Moved onto covering her exterior with grey primer.

First i put one thin coat on all components then sanded everything down with 600 grit.

Now all the imperfections show up that i didn't see earlier. Simply apply filler in the areas needed and sanded them out .

Then put a second thin coat of primer on . Now IMO she looks very smooth.

The LS coating i put on her really covered well . and saved allot of time and i will use this again.

I am very satisfied at this point now i can apply the panel lines and other details . Also i need to detail the turbo hatches .

This P-38 will fly this summer .

I hope everything works out for you Bob . I am still looking for a new canopy for this P-38 and still no luck.
