Ok, so this is the part I like the best. After all the hard work slaving over a model and it is time to put it together.

The fuel tanks are in, batteries are in, servos are in, everything but the wing is painted.
I am gluing the ruder and elevator in, I will be working on the canopy installing the remainder of the glass.
Engine is installed and I am getting ready to do the overlay colors.
The first and only color is the black on the top front of the fuselage from the spinner to the canopy screen.

This is the exciting part



I did paint the primer on the wing to seal the panel lines. I don't like them sitting around so as soon as I install them I paint.
This Dupli-color specialty high build primer is bad ass. I mixed up 12oz and sprayed the wing.
The primer dries in a min or two so you don't have to stop or wait, just keep painting until your out of paint.

I don't know how much was on so I wet sanded this after noon (you only have to wait 30min before sanding) to see how high the build was. I need to hit it one more wet coat.

Then I will wet sand and wait for the white primer.
