Gazzas Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Shawn, Your Uhu looks awesome! I'm curious: How do you paint first and then attach the wings? Trying to get my head around it because I am always dealing with seams at the wing root. Gaz Shawn M 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn M Posted November 13, 2018 Author Share Posted November 13, 2018 luckily on this kit the fit is 'almost' flawless at the root. Traditionally I would glue the wings on then paint. If there is a wee gap, I will tint some glue with paint and fill it in. Gazzas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn M Posted November 14, 2018 Author Share Posted November 14, 2018 I shot the last of the future on the aft fuse/tail feathers last night then I sat down and slathered on my florys wash on the wings, props, exhaust and elevators. Should be able to sit down tonight and wipe it all off. The I will provide pics Out2gtcha and Greg W 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
