Your so welcome Andrew anytime
And so the Modelling Gods spoke to all of creation saying in unison "Let there be primer!!!" and lo did the model become covered in a wonderous coat of paint!! 
Ok, so primer is on. It's highlighted a few minor flaws with the build, it needs a touch up in one place and I think the tailplane in particular is very slightly patchy but all in all no complaints. Vallejo black primer was the paint in question.

PS. I used Montex masks for the second time and again they went on well

Morning all
Apologies for not being around as much as I would have liked recently and so not commenting on your collective efforts but we had a HQ review visit the first half of this week which took a lot of prep work, plus two full days with them but fortunately we got a good rating, so it was worth it.
I have now finished the filling, cleaning up and repriming. There was a bit more than I realised and so took longer than expected, so only got it finished last night.
Any way, next up is the mottling effect. I know how long a 109 took and given this is probably more than twice the size, it's going to take a while.

Andrew,
Apologies mate it's been a while since I looked in. She is looking nice now in her paint.

Good evening all
Apologies again for not being around as much as I would wish and so not commenting on your collective efforts as much as I would like but work continues to be very busy.
So I managed to get the undercarriage assembled as far I could at our club meeting on Monday evening. Then yesterday afternoon I removed everything from the sprues that goes towards the finished build. It all then got a coat of primer, most of it is black but grey for the spinner, props and oil tanks as they will be painted in lighter colours e.g. yellow prop tips and light grey spinner.
Not a lot to look at but a big step towards the finish line!!

Looks like another big step towards the finish line Andrew :thumb2:
The primer on the fuselage looks very smooth.

Thanks Allen. Glad you're liking it. Work is only going to get busier to be honest but it was good to have a play!
Andrew quit Apologizing we know life gets in the way you’re doing a great job on this bill still trying to keep up with you. Now go take care of business.
Consider myself reprimanded Lee!:crying:
In all seriousness you have all been so supportive since I joined that I like to try and give something back via my comments!

Hi Andrew. Just had a catch up. Great progress. Always nice to get the primer on and even nicer when it doesn't show up too many areas needing work. Glad the masks worked. If you've had two out of two happy uses of them then a manufacturer to look out for. Top coat next :thumb2:
Thanks Jim. Actually the mottling base coat next but so glad to get to this point!
Thanks for stopping by.

Good evening all
And so an update much sooner that I thought!!
By 9pm last night my better half had been out for over an hour, Junior was in bed as he was feeling tired and Junioress had been picked up from work, had dinner and was in her room.....what is a man supposed to do with himself? I ask you!! :smiling3:
Pre-base coat mottling is the answer of course!
ACW as usual.

Andrew
EDIT....looking back at the thing in real life the mottling is less solid and more dark than in the photos

Andrew that's looking very good, don't know how you do the mottling, but it looks good .
Looks very good with the mottling as JR says. At his age he needs to worry about “Clotting” lol.
