Jeff, I just used that model as it was the one that is in the early stages of being worked on. I put the red-stuff on first, let it dry well then sand it smooth. there might be a little shrinkage so put a little more on, sand again, then put primer on. let cure for a while, over night is good. Sand again then see what you have, you might need more filler, so just keep going really.

It certainly is your lucky day, I am doing a step-by step, well almost, post eventually on my first 747 build a Revell cut-away one that has a non cut away side as Pan Am N747PA. So there are quite a few pics to put up on that post, sorry for this one being blurred, that is what you get for taking them at 2am without flash, even though it's only a point and shoot digi, this one has a fierce flash for sure. I think you get the idea though and I hope it helps you. (The cat's weren't too pleased I used their food bowl for a water dish though )
So what you are looking at is a bare stuck fuselage, MEK is the glue we get best results from, with nose weight, filled and sanded.
Hope this helps again.
