Wheels look good Chris. Painting the tires is always fun… :headslap:

Thanks Carlos. Luckily Monogram gave us nice raised rim edges :shoutout: , so it should not be that difficult with this kit.

Really nice progress!

I do like Rattle can primer too - I don't use it on my builds as such but I do on my Miniatures.... I need to use it more :hmm:

Rattle cans are your friends! Anyway, the Skyraider looks great!

I guess I'm the only one who doesn't use rattle cans. :giggles: Looks great though! :shoutout:

I don't use them much either, it seems I spray my bench and tools more than the model.

You definitely have to have a spray booth John. And a roll of a brown painter paper does not hurt to minimize clean up (Reduces dust getting kicked up and ending up in your paint job as well I might add).

Nope, me neither… except on extremely rare occasions….

I use it mostly during summertime and early fall when the weather is nice. 99.9% of the time I'll spray outdoors using rattlecan primer.
