Well crap!! I lost a PE right trim tab actuator. I was holding it in my tweezers and preparing to put a little CA glue on it. Next thing I know, it disappeared to God knows where. 
Looked on the floor, cleared the workbench top... nothing.
I even checked myself if it had landed on me.
I'm quitting for the night and will resume the hunt tomorrow. It couldn't have gone very far. I just need a bright LED flashlight to catch the shininess of the PE part.

Damn that sucks! I've had that happen too plenty of times. I have a VERY hungry carpet monster.

She looks great with those monster wings. Bummer about the PE, but ya - tweezers just launch the stuff.

Looking real good Tom! I’m loving that twin .30 mount!

Yeah, not the first time the tweezers sent tiny and small parts flying into the blackhole. 90% of the time I do find them… IF I know the direction it went. This time I didn’t see it. I do know which direction I pointed the tweezers. 
This one will be built “wheels up”. With that being said, I will be looking for a 4 blade prop blur set. She will be hung n a dive with bomb doors open and displacement gears extended. It’s just the matter of finding the perfect spot to display/hang it.
I have a couple ideas. One being hanging from my ceiling by my bench. The other, possibly enclose it in a clear display box and using a strong clear styrene rod inserted into the rear portion of the fuselage. I would hang the the display case on any wall.

Bombing your bench... i guess that's one excuse for disorder in the build area!

Quick question regarding painting photo etch. This one comes with 4 dive flaps - top and lower on each wing. Is it recommended to put a coat of primer before painting?
