I have always sealed the hinge gaps using a strip of ultracoat before laying down the base colour, as per RCKen's LT40 thread. Seeing how you have done it indicates that that is just an unecessary extra step.

Really nice work.

The last plane I covered has large areas of ultracoat over ultracoat - really tricky to laydown nicely. I will have a go at the monocoat trim over ultracoat next time. Do you fully shrink the base layer before adding the monocoat trim? Then just a low heat to activate the trim glue or does the windex activate the glue enough?
