Just short of 28 hours in past two days.  Many thanks for your comments, I am really enjoying the spraying bit of the build, but have the large white area to do next so will be very careful not to over spray. Thanks for looking in. Happy Building Regards delboy271155 (Derek) COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"

Hi All, Latest update with the hull painting. Gave the lower half two coats of white and have some minor issues with the results. The paint itself seems fine, only problem is there are a few areas that could do with a very small bit of fill/shape, as the white paint has shown up a few flaws. So will let this last coat dry for 24 hours, then fill/shape where required and then a very light sanding, followed by a final coat of white. Below are the results so far. Happy Building, Regards delboy271155 (Derek) delboy271155 attached the following image(s): COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"

Hi Derek Looking good one way of getting a good finish on a hull us to spray with grey primer and sand it back this shows up all the low spots that may need filling. One other point is if you look at the Victory's hull and any other period ship its far from smooth and looks rougher than a bears a%&*£ in places so some rough bits would be normal also regards Andy Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

This one I`ll go with the flow, but as for spraying a bears A**e, I wouldn`t want to get that close, let alone paint it.  Not sure the bear would be to happy either!!!
