Thanks, Paul! I was beginning to wonder if anyone was still paying attention. Here she is straight out of the paint booth:

This is after one session of slowly building up the white using Mr. White Surfacer, following by sanding out all the surface flaws I could find, and another, shorter round of applying the white. The area around the nose where the clear part joins is still a bit untidy, but I'm going to see what that looks like tomorrow before deciding whether I do anymore work on it or not. I probably should, as with this livery (white on top, silver on the bottom), every little imperfection will stand out like a sore thumb. If I do, it'll probably rule it out for being finished by the weekend, but when was the last time you were happy that you rushed a model?
