Test Build 3 - Primed

My build of the MG Models 'Classic' diesel has now had a good scrub up and a coat of etch primer, covering many sins and allowing the filled joins etc to be examined to see if more work is required.


I'm happy to see that the joins around the top of the bonnet have come up well, the attention to this area with the Milliput was worth the effort. Just to note the cab roof is still a separate part and isn't fitted correctly in the pictures.


Overall the finish is a little less smooth than I would like, but that might just be the atmospheric conditions at the time of the spray. It needs a rub over with wet 1500 grit wet and dry paper but that can wait until a top coat is required. As a test build for an as yet undecided project that step can wait until a clearer direction is known.
