time for an update :)
i just finished applying a 2 layers of gloss-white (first one on last night, second one just applied this afternoon).
im gonna wait and see if the coating is sufficient, or a third thin coat would be needed.
white is always such as a pain to paint, even if the plastic is already white, the best way to do this was to thin the paint as much as possible (but not to much, otherwise the thinner might caose the first layer to chip)
so far, no chipping.
when its dry, and the cover is good everywhere, i will start on decals.
meanwhite, work has also started on the wings.
the tailplanes have already recieved 2 coats of paint.
once dry, they will be tapes of and the edges will be painted with metallic aluminium.
ive also finished the main assembly of the wings (without the engines). these have already recieved a first layer of grey, but i still need to do the wingtips. im thinking painting these blue
as for the engine nacelles, im thinking either white with the new sabena logo (same as on the tail), or Blue, with the old sabena logo (for nostalgic purposes, i still have some Sobelair decals left from a revell 737-800, thought these would go nicely)
