| The fuselage is now sprayed up and although the repair is not undetectable it is pretty good and only someone who knew it was there would spot it.
I sprayed it with high build primer but there were some small but deep holes that needed a dab of filler, it was then sprayed using thinned Flair Spectrum that gives good results.
I was giving the fuselage its final coat when I thought that I’d need another tin to finish off the model – that’s when the penny dropped. Flair went bust a couple of weeks ago so when present stocks have gone that’s it, no more paint, so I got on to my local model shop and managed to get one of their last tins – phew!
I’m now fitting new servo boxes into the wing to suit the new mini servos I treated myself to and then I just have to spray the flying surfaces before taking it to the hill. The PIK has a total of 9 servos so a big battery will be called for.
I’ll post some photos of the completed model when it is finished.
