So...priming, for the canopy I will use black primer but for the rest I'm thinking of using white as two of the finished colours will be white and light grey.
Any advice?

Looking good Rick. I used white primer on my Hawk, got the red and blue on with no serious issues. 1/72 was probably a little too small to worry about using a different primer on the canopy frame. Obvioulsy I haven't had any build time so that's as far as I got so far, but if I were to build the larger scale version I would do it the same.Comment

The canopy has been primed in dark panzer grey primer from Vallejo, I thought I had black but it won't matter much, the idea is that the internal surface of the canopy frame is dark. A coat of white will go on next.

I encountered a problem with the wing leading edge fences, they are flimsy, too thin and of course broke when applied glue. I managed to glue them back on but one fell off again and disappeared. A replacement was made from plasticard, I hope the join might disappear after they're painted.

Applying white paint to white primer is fun...not!

After a second coat of blue the masking was removed......some minor areas needing easy fixes but one bigger area has the paint peeling off to the base material....hmm!
