I initially planned to have the fuselage painted by a professional, but he became busy with other projects so i decided to film cover the fuselage.
I started by cutting the cardboard templates and sanding the fuselage with 300 grit sandpaper:


The first color applied was white, followed by the other colors:



I had to give up on the gold color used on the wings because when applied to the fuselage sides, from most angles and in most lighting conditions it looked more like dark brown. It also highlighted too much the areas where it overlapped the other colors, so i chose to use a light grey instead.


The canopy will be painted later, for now it is just sprayed with primer.
