ok, 2/3 layers of white paint later (+ 2 layers of matt orange on the tail, prior to dayglo)
the wheels (not on pics) have also been painted. as soon as the white is dry, i can start on the orange/dayglo on the fuselage and wings  :mellow:

almost there, just a few more days (dont have much modelling time since im back at work since last monday)



on the bench:

ok, one more update for today  :mellow:

the white paint dried much faster then i anticipated,to after removing the tape, i started to apply the orange primer on the fuselage and wings.
the wings already got 2 layers and are ready for dayglo, wheels are also fitted.
the fuselage has recieved only one layer, a second layer will be added later tonight or tomorrow  :mellow:
the prop is also fully painted and will be applied after the fuselage is completly done  :mellow:

i was trying to paint the sides of the conformal watertanks under the fuselage, make it look like a rubber seal, didnt turn out as good as i expected  :-\
anyway, i think it looks good  :mellow:
