The fuselage is awaiting better weather before I spray but I'm going to use Halfords aerosol White Primer and Spectrum top coat. When spraying I use fast thinner from the local motor factors for Spectrum and Solarlac as it’s a thousand times cheaper and works just fine. I give a couple of coats of primer which is rubbed down, then give it a quick flash over with black and rub down, by doing this you can see the imperfections as black marks which can be given a bit of filler or rubbed out.
Unless you know the original paint you'll struggle to get an exact match in white, I'm going to re-spray the whole model not just the damaged areas. You might get away with a close matching paint between fuselage and wings but I doubt that just spraying the tail section will give satisfactory results but try it and see if it stands out, you can always continue with the rest of the fuselage if it doesn’t work.
I will be posting a photo when it is finished.
I’m please my article has helped you - it makes it all worth the while.
