Out the top R/H corner of the model room. Seems to work pretty good too

Yet more filling, sanding and priming on this beasty


The new spray booth is a bit crowded at the moment

Yet more sanding and bloody filling
The fourth round


The fifth and hopefully final round of filling

So I've had a change of plan. Due to this jet needing some NMF and the finish not up to NMF standard this will now be an Ethiopian 737-200.

This is all but done for priming etc. I've got 2 small areas to sand and reprime then it'll be time for the Tamiya white primer. I've sanded the primer with 4000 grit Micromesh pads and I'll be doing the same after it's in white.

OK now that is cool Paul!!!.
I am surprised at the diversity that is already apparent in this Challenge Build. We will have 737-200s represented from around the world.

Coming together really well! Shame about the finish not being receptive to NMF. I'll be trying it myself on the Saudia plane. I've been "practicing" at trying to find a lazy mans way of doing it and found this rattle can stuff that works pretty nicely. I don't think I'll be able to match the mirror shine on the real thing but I can get somewhat close... I hope?!

Ethiopia is a good choice, looks pretty nice!!

[hrtpaul]

Ta mate. It has more to do with my mistakes than anything else. Any NMF I do will be with Alclad as I love the stuff

If I have to fill the f*&^ing little hole once more this 737 is gonna learn to fly for real
