I would if the finish is acrylic, not for enamel.

Oh yes! With something very hardy like Tamiya or Mr Surfacer.BlackSheep214 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 08, 2023 10:29 am Quick question regarding painting photo etch. This one comes with 4 dive flaps - top and lower on each wing. Is it recommended to put a coat of primer before painting?

Put it over the bench. I'm being watched constantly by a Reaper.BlackSheep214 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 07, 2023 10:24 pm Yeah, not the first time the tweezers sent tiny and small parts flying into the blackhole. 90% of the time I do find them… IF I know the direction it went. This time I didn’t see it. I do know which direction I pointed the tweezers.
This one will be built “wheels up”. With that being said, I will be looking for a 4 blade prop blur set. She will be hung n a dive with bomb doors open and displacement gears extended. It’s just the matter of finding the perfect spot to display/hang it.
I have a couple ideas. One being hanging from my ceiling by my bench. The other, possibly enclose it in a clear display box and using a strong clear styrene rod inserted into the rear portion of the fuselage. I would hang the the display case on any wall.

Re: Sum Bitch 2nd Class -4
Tom, were you planning on displaying the dive brakes open? If so, you have to some surgery and the inner portion of the kit dive flaps as they also opened up.
