Another fine summer day here in the UK! Waking up to the sound of rain I thought I had woken early as it seemed dark but that was due to the clouds blocking out the sunlight. With no chance of a dry bike ride until later in the day the Dragon Panzer Ferry kit progressed a bit further with details like the marker lights and mirror arms being fitted. The various wheels were also prepared for painting. The running wheels in particular had a prominent mould line around them which needed some careful and delicate sanding to remove.
With the main parts that I wanted fitted to the hull glued in place and the wheels prepared it was time for some paint. In my usual way the loose parts were mounted on a board using upturned masking tape to hold the parts in place.
Then it was time for the undercoat which in my usual way is a dark colour to give shading and darkness in places that top coat does not reach. Vallejo black primer was the colour of choice matching the ever darkening clouds outside!
I did two sessions of priming using the gap between to get a bike ride in whilst the clouds and rain broke a little. I now have a primed hull and various wheels and fittings ready for some top coats.
