    Started masking the canopy by first applying thin strips of masking tape, a trick learned from George @gblair, before filling the entire canopy with larger pieces of masking tape.


    After the canopy was fully masked, I mounted it with some pieces of patafix onto the fuselage. Time to get it primered.

    Great masking job, John (@johnb). It won't be long until it is paint time.

    Noticed that I forgot to mount the ventral fins. So prior to the primer I had to do this first.

    Primer applied, all looking pretty good to my idea. Not much to correct.
