Mr Surfacer is sanded. You can also see on the first photo the Vallejo putty around the gun bay.

During the process on sanding, I've brokem a little element (and lost the broken part  :-kr )...
... But here I've used a technique that AFV modelers are using frequently: the acrylic 3D paint for tissue. With a toothpick I applied the color where the part was missing... Now, just to let dry a little bit ;)

Thank you mates!

Unfortunately, little break in the build for three days (some 1/1 scale works at home...)

Resuming the work:

Some Photoetched parts are placed; elements that were sanded are replaced by photoetch + 3D acrylic paint; a little bit of putty is applied.

Thank you mates!

Well, have had good time airbrushing the primer. Before that I did not forget to sand the cowler... ;)

The primer revealed little jointure visible after the antenna, and a "sprue-attach location" on an aileron that was imperfectly sanded. I corrected with cyano for the jointure; sanding; and new airbrushing.

In the process I broke the filter under the fuselage  :-red :-wall :-help but reparation took me less than one minute :-tri
