Morning progress

I laid out the panel lines and the rivet lines too.
I like to get it all laid out to see how it is going to look and to make any adjustments.

I use blue tape, this way if I don't like it I just remove and start over. I don't like a bunch of unused line cluttering my work
Once I am happy with the layout I just pull the tape and place it on the other side and mark that side.
Then I use them on the top of the wing and get exact transfer of my lines.
I will keep this for after I prime and need to remark.



On panel lines I will use a sharpie, and for now on the rivet lines. I know it can bleed threw and that is ok as it will show me where the lines are.

After white primer I will use a pencil.




I got lucky and ran into Glenn Ryle a former Top Gun competitor and builder at the auto store.
We had a long discussion about prepping for panel lines and he recommended the Dupli-color high build primer.
I have used it before and really liked it so I got a gallon.

I am canning the rattle can primer also so I picked up this primer. It works great for filling and doing panel lines.
Should be more then enough for the wing and to do Angie plus any other future project.
I will hit the wing with this, do a light wet sanding to knock down some of the build on the panel lines then do the white and sand to release the tape.
