Fanera-2 is ready for priming. Sure there will be some issues and defects clearly visible on a primed surface, but I hope it will not take too much time to remove all of them, and I will safely move to applying some orange paint. Still not sure about skis color.

Hope so, David. Anyway, I'm glad to see this kit assembled after all of these years it was lying on a shelf.

And some more photos! Intermediate sanding-priming (primer used is Gunze Mr Surfacer 1500):

Just before painting:

And after several layers of Gunze Orange Yellow (on the photo it looks more yellowish, but in reality it's a light orange color):

Now I will left it for several days – the paint should dry completely.

Thanks, David!

I've printed decals and applied them. Film is little bit thick, so I'll try to hide it with varnish coat, but will see.

Currently I'm applying washes – I have no plans for a heavy weathering, but panels should be visible, I think. Small parts also got some washes:

And that's all. Thanks everybody for supporting and commenting – this helps a lot. And a question to @dirtylittlefokker David – should we post finished models on a group build's finish (like, everybody will post theirs work on the same day), or you'll just collect all of them in one post?

I gotta say, if there was a "Most Fantastic Amazing Model" award with this group build, this would be hands-down DA WINNAH! Truly amazing, Dmitry. I mean that with all sincerity. I am knocked dead.
