Default Wing Prep.

With the body shell cut out and ready for masking then painting. I thought I would prep the WRC wing and paint that.

With it being 3d printed, it has very fine lines that I wanted to rub down and try and get rid of. I used 800 wet & dry to rub it down, then the MAGICAL BIT !!!

It wouldn't be a build if you didn't borrow something from the Mrs or Daughter without them knowing you had taken it..... Well its a nail file buffer type thing. Ive seen them both using them on there nails to very successful results of shineyness…. Just what I needed......

So I went full on and robbed it...…...

I used this in-between coats of primer to buff up the primer and flatten the primer, and it really worked well...….

Here is the wing as it came from L&L Models and at the primer stage. Im now allowing to dry off over the 48hrs. Then I will paint it blue and repeat as above...…..
