Yes there in the painting booth drying.

Not much to show just been sanding and filling sanding and filling, the seams on the rocket sides. I’m not too keen on the new formula Squadron fillers.

Ian,
I wasn't impressed with the new fillers either. But I found if you stand them on the cap for a few days the consistency improves a lot.

Hi Ian
This is really coming together now. I expect you're really keen to get the iconic black and white finish on this now.
Looking really good. Blast off in t-minus....!
