After applying primer: preparing for paint.

Irineu Junior
Chassis painted with spray. I'll take the paint off the can and use in airbrush.
It will be easier to control the flow, mainly on the body.

Having done one of these recently, I will give you a heads up that the decals canbe a tad brittle, especially the big ones going across the doors. LOTS of softener needed. PS: beautiful seal point.

Good tip, @bossy122, thank you!

Do not use Tamiyas TS 13 clear. It will melt your decals.

Well what can I say. Was it beginners luck or a skillfull modeller ? Those decals look great. I`ve build 4 and the decals were a nightmare. Congratulations. 😊👌

After I mounted the exhausts I considered them too shiny. So, a satin varnish coat followed. Now I like it better

Don't prime? Not even with my beloved tamiya?

11 October, 23:58

Michael Kohl
Hi Ben. The engravings of this kit are so delicate that they loose depth with the application of primer to such an extent that panellining becomes quite tricky. I would continue to prime models where this doesn't seem to be an issue but modern airliners or small scale models with such fine engravings I will try to do without. I suppose propper surface preparation and use of colors with more 'bite' than acrylics would be a good idea to avoid issues with paint adhesion.

Petar Žorić
Not priming a model with fine shallow lines is a great idea. I would guess if you use stronger lacquer based paints its not an issue. Will try this on my next model with fine lines! Awesome progress BTW looks really good!

12 October, 11:56

Ben M
Tamiya makes "fine surface primer" I think for this application. I find it does not level as well as the regular product though.

12 October, 12:55

Michael Kohl
Almost done. Now I have to adjust the shine. Even with the use of flat clear from Mr. Hobby the paint appears too shiny. Afraid to use AK Ultra Matt as this will be as matt as matt can be and thus maybe a bit too much. Then painting the radon and mounting the exhausts.

I was cheerfully positive to finish this bird today. But the gods of modelling had other plans. After removing the canopy masks I discovered an area where paint/varnish has crept under the edge and marred the inside. Shit. But I will live with it. Then I recalled that the seals of the canopy were still to be done. A quick freehand job seemed to be a sure road to regret and disappointment. So I was in for another round of masking. Painting will follow tomorrow- hopefully.
