Work has quieted down, so back to the fun stuff.

Model primered and puttied:

Canopies masked:

This is by far the best putty job I have ever done, one of which was perfect after the first coat of primer was put on. It's still an area that I need more practice on but for me this was an accomplishment. I used Tester's Grey Putty, if anybody has a better recommendation please let me know.

Tamiya provided paint masks for the glass which really saved a lot of time. When I started I was not aware of the small window on the bottom of the plane - this actually took more time then the top one. Working on the Williams Brother's B-10 at the same time had really made me appreciate this model even more!

Tomorrow I start the main coats.

Nice to see some progress mate, as for that bottom window I know what you mean about being time consuming, mine took about a week!!
