Fuselage is painted




I applied the final white coat early this morning. I had put the first white coat on on Sunday. Prep was:


I sanded the MS with 180grit water paper (wet) and filled all visible scratches with spies hecker spot putty before first white coat.. Big grooves I filled with 3m lightweight body filler (sparingly!). After the first white coat I wet sanded with 400grit and filled remaining scratches and orange peel with spot putty.


Final coat looks ok and should require little polishing apart from where the paint blends with the previosly painted belly. Here I plan to wet sand with 1000 grit and polish .
