Is there room to get at the joint from the open bomb bays? If so glue a strip of plastic across the joint on the inside

 

[Wurger]

Glenn , just it was suggested by me on the previous page.

 

[Donivanp]

All great inputs. The O2 tanks go in the section and may supply the added structural support but I'll look at adding the stripping as well.

 

[Donivanp]

Dang but this one is BIG! I had to put her down for a nap after a shower. There was a lot of seam work on this and I'm not sure about how it worked till I get some primer on it.

 

[Crimea_River]

You may need a gallon of primer.

 

[Wurger]

Agree.

 

[Airframes]

Better make that two gallons !

 

[SANCER]

With 2 gallons it may be enough for the monsters you have in process.

Take it to Earl Scheib

 

[Gnomey]

Looks good so far!

Take it to Earl Scheib

Ha ! We had a local body shop that did splash jobs, paint over the bugs and everything !

 

[fubar57]

Definitely need a spray bomb or two of primer

That Bed runway is not long enough.....

 

[parsifal]

That thing is huge.....the aircraft I mean......

 

[Donivanp]

Well as promised, Monstro is getting some covering. First gallon went to the seams, (still got some work to do there), and the what was left in the color cup went where ever. I used Humbrol liquid mask for the few windows I have in.

I do have a second work bench but can't seem to find room to work on it.

 

[fubar57]

Man....that's going to require a lot of paint. After serious consideration I have decided to sell off my multi-engine fleet, more due to lack of space than anything else. Off to the post office tomorrow to check out international shipping rates

 

[Donivanp]

Give us a list!
Oh and that was one full color cup of Alclad black primer.

 

[Airframes]

Getting there Don.
Might be a good idea to mask all the turret openings etc, as metallic paints tend to produce a lot of mist overspray, which gets where smoke can't reach !

 

[Wurger]

With Terry.

 

[Donivanp]

I intended to have turrets in place and mask off weapons bay and gear wells before I got to the metallics, but it is a good to know and remember suggestion as I seem to get things out of sequence sometimes. Thanks to all.
