Aw, heck...why didn't I think of that?  And I even used some on the engine cowl interior.  D'oh!   Too late now...it's primered already.

WoW, just when you thought it was safe to pull out the airbrush....check out these flaws.
And I thought this build was supposed to be "just for fun."  Passed that point weeks ago.   





Oh well, back to PSR.

[sotoolslinger]

Fun ,Huh

Great. My secret over this plane, is during many years I dream with this plane in WWII. In a carrier with traditional armament, one seat and swing wing.
Probably I am mad but think in a carrier plenty of T-28 ready to take off

[John Howling Mouse]

And, we're back...more PSR.

Okay, I think she's now ready for paint.  At the wing roots, there are still a couple of pinhole flaws but I've come to realize they're the result of the wing flexing.  I had bonded these joints with CA glue in an attempt to avoid this very problem but the wing root connections are a sort of odd design.  They had a strip of plastic "webbing" to hold the wings at the right angle one is supposed to remove that once the wings are attached (the webbing strip ran straight across the nosewheel well void so it would have been strange to leave it intact).  I think that removing this strip, however, allowed the wings to start flexing a bit every time I picked up the model (and played with it before it got painted, who am I kidding?).
