    This evening it was time to get the Fortress primered.
    From a distance not too bad, but still corrections to be made.
    For some reason a lot of dust was attracted, hope to get it corrected with polishing.

    Try with Polishing Coumpound from Tamiya. I use it with positive effects.

    @lis, thanks for the tip, Bernard.

    Just finished the polishing with very fine sandpaper and applied a new layer of primer.
