Priming stage I. Few places need sanding, but If I sand too much - rivets gone. So it is like catching own tail.

Nice work on the priming, Beranrd @lis
A difficult choice, sanding or keeping the rivets.

Priming and sanding always seem to be a slow process that can be time-consuming and filled with repetition. captain R (@lis), it looks like you and your wingman have moved things forward in creating a Revell Shackleton built to impress. Wellington, must have turned the screws and did his best in inspecting and is all tuckered out.

Great job on the sanding, Bernard @lis
All looks very smooth now.
I agree on the white, off white seems to be more suitable.

Preshading looks awesome, Bernard (@lis), and looking forward to seeing how it works with paint scheme on this plane. Did you demand too much work from your supervisor?

Looks like the fuselage is a tiger of a different stripe. The inspiration comes from Wellington no doubt. The Shackleton is one of those graceful ladies of the sky and capt R. your well on your way to making this kit into another graceful build.

Great pre-shading already, Bernard @lis
The Uschi patterns will improve it even further.

Today I masked all finally painted surfaces to prepare for stencil painting.
