Yesterday I applied a coat of paint. This is one of those that has to be painted before assembly. Usually I put on the bottom wing and paint the fuselage/wing as a unit. On the other hand this one doesn't have a bottom wing, so I guess that makes sense. Last night I put the wire wheels together. Today I drew the frame and rib lines with a brown Sharpie, did some sanding and put on the second coat of paint. A couple of hours to make sure it was totally dry before masking and painting the "metal" parts black. Actual assembly should go fairly quickly.
