Hi Todd,
Nice effort with the primer. As you have noted a lot of real estate to cover with a carrier. I have used the Tamiya cans for priming and they a good job, quicker but more expensive!

cheers

Thanks a bunch Tim!! I appreciate the kind words...and the encouragement!! The bender is top notch stuff! Comes in handy for a number of things...holding while sanding edges even clamping for soldering from time to time!! I have always liked the consistency of the Model Air colors...maybe not in this scale...LOL!! Good thing I had the 200ml bottle of black!! Thanks for following along!! I hope to bang a little more away on this one over the weekend...need to take my daughter on one of her college picks on Saturday I will need the calming effects that modelling gives us after that!!

Ahoy Todd

Nice work thus far.

I love the primer look myself.

Looks like a "stealth" version.


Cheers
