The slow progress is my fault. After doing so much body work and mods to the SHADOW body I figured I could go right to the Tamiya white primer and skip my Dupli-color #1699. WRONG!! Even with all I did I still got some fish eye in the primer. So I had to strip that and shot a few coats of #1699. Some wet sanding between coats, front wings installed and rear wing assembled I did make SOME progress from the last post. Waiting on TS-14 gloss black to arrive in mail.....did not know I was out!!! Thanks for looking.
