The pilot was painted and put in place and the front glass was also put in place.

And then the canopy was put in place with blue tac.

I used medium grey as a kind of primer to check for flaws.

Some flaws was puttied and sanded.

Then it was primed again.

As was some covers.

I had to sort a minor flaw created when I sanded the top of the plane. Once that was fixed, I could put on the first cote of paint, RAF medium sea grey.

I’ll let it dry and then start masking for the first topside camo colour.
