Finally, a moment to build something. Ok... so for the weekend I cleaned up the edges and gaps around the fuselage and built the engines. I also put on an initial coat of paint using Q-tips as part of an experiment. I must report the the Q-tips worked pretty good. I think I went through a dozen though. The effect surprised me somewhat. As I rolled on the paint, those panel lines that I had to cut into this bird came out dark and clear. The color went on evenly and dried faster than I expected.
