Today I thought well I'll try and get the gloss primer on the Fagot but then I thought oh business end of the fagot the 37mm and the two 23mm.
Using a .8mm drill bit I first took off the plastic barrels then after filing smooth I drilled the holes for the brass barrels, also in the barrels set is a antenna base for the aerial wire so that too had .8mm drill hole( right side of cockpit
I have cemented the 3 gun mounts to the model and the rear of the 37mm housing came away with the weapons inspections hatch so I'll have to remove this and add to the hatch later but for spray/ primer etc I'm leaving in place. Still have to detail the weapons bay and nice grubby wash.
Even with clean up the 37mm mount needs a smidgen of filler on the side to be flush with the fuselage.
I've also started painting the undercarriage wheels etc
