    just a brief note regarding I's kit engineering - thought I saw a post - maybe on the Brit modeling site - expressing belief that Italeri just copied the MFH 12th sc kit nope - compare the bonnets on the two kits - a build of the MFH kit posted on line shows a rather poor effort by MFH to represent the bonnet hinge assembly - surprising considering how great their kits are ... Italeri must have noticed this - appears that their kit has an excellent hinge assembly with reasonable scale accuracy betting you agree, Thomas ...

    So the white tamiya primer does the trick - the pores in the second picture are gone in the first shot - laid to rest under a second coat of T rattle can primer … next stop is the green color coats …

    You can see here that the primer sands well but leaves paint in the offending pores …

    Whilst pondering the finish of the seat - i took a morning to re-finish the tail - which had a small cavity at the base - and was a little porous - - due to the master - which i made from a relatively soft sheet of Renshape - so i brushed on some Tamiya white bottle primer - which is thick enough to swim into most of the pores - and some CA for the cavity - sanded with some sanding sticks - i want To do as little as possible with the enamel color coat …

    The rivets on the fabric edging the cutouts had to be shortened to lengths of .40 - so they wouldn’t poke through the body - they were poked into holes drilled into that Evergreen strip - painted , cut, and sanded to the needed length …

    Once i re-spayed the seat - with a lighter shade of “leather” - i began to install the rivets that secure the leather to the body - used .07 Master Club flat rivets - hard to judge scale size - .06’s - which are just over 1/2 sc inch - might be more scale accurate …
