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?
Oh yes! With something very hardy like Tamiya or Mr Surfacer.

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.
Put it over the bench. I'm being watched constantly by a Reaper.

Sponged up the cockpit/rear gunner offices, wheel wells and bomb bay in preparation for paint.

Tom, were you planning on displaying the dive brakes open? If so, you have to some surgery and the inner portion of the kit dive flaps as they also opened up.
