It had been a long winter and then too many other projects have delayed getting back underway with the build but finally today some progress was made. The next major task is to paint the remainder of the fuselage and the tail feathers. The bottom of the fuselage had been painted last year so today I cleaned the fabric on the rest of the fuselage and started applying the UV blocking filler. First the top and fin were brush painted with two coats applied at right angles (one cross coat). Then this was sanded down and two further cross coats applied with the spray gun. This just needs another quick sand and it is ready for the top coat. Then the two fuselage sides were given their first brush coat.
