I'v been a paint sprayer for quiet a while now and you'd be amazed at the amount of people I'v worked with who didn't realise you can use wet or dry wet,and they'd been in the trade for years.

It works with metal files too. Knock about 90% off the sanding time IME.

Lots of progress!
Shiny new decals have arrived  
I will be making Times a wastin' from the 418th NFS  

Primer on, some more filler for the gap between the transperancies tho.
The tail bubble was a bit of a failure   but you guys will see that once the tapes off.







Cheers,
Pim

Totally agree with the above comments.....It's a predatory looking thing too, isn't it?  

All the best

Great job, Dutch_nzer.

I thought about it but ended up just masking it with some trusty Tamiya tape. Took a while   but the end result is worth it
Cheers everyone!
