Looks like the new spray booth is getting a good workout.

I noticed the overspray is at the bottom of the filter, although the fan inlet is about 3/4 of the way up. That shows be the air flow pattern is better than I originally hoped for.

Primed, sanded and primed a second time. Ready for paint. Decals ordered last week so with Christmas mail, heaven on knows when they will show up. Hopefully before  year's end.

[Gearup]

It looks very robust in solid grey. Nice work
Fraser

[Boomerang]

Will look terrific when completed.

Gordon

[lastvautour]

Thank you Gordon and Fraser. quality control checks revealed the need for some final sanding. Next will be another coatr of primer and then the white/dark navy blue paint scheme.

Lou

[lastvautour]

Ready for colour scheme. Decals ordered over a week ago. Hopefully they will be here when the model is ready.

Lou

AK paint over Rustoleum white primer. Next will be clear gloss.

Note masking tape still on model.

[Boomerang]

Looking good Lou.

Are you using the Tamiya tape that does curves?

Cheers

Gordon

[lastvautour]

Thank you Gordon. I am using tape that curves but cannot remember the brand.

Lou

[lastvautour]

Supply issues will push this model to # 1 in 2022. I ran out of clear gloss. I had my booster shot yesterday and I am not feeling that great today so I probably will not go out.

Lou

[Boomerang]

I hope it doesn't knock you around too much.

Cheers

Looks good so far.

A military version of this, the RC-12 Guardrail, flew over here. Of course, I wanted to carve one after that, but drawings were scarce.

[lastvautour]

The colours are Royal Canadian Air Force but they are contracted out. We do use military pilots to train other pilots on multi engine.
