... after the third trip to the purple pond, I think I finally may have found my painting issue .......... something must have changed in the Krylon primer formula that the hobby lacquers (Testors and Tamiya) just don't like ........... after going into the Castrol Super Clean, the body was totally stripped of all primer with a Paasche Air-Eraser ........... then came two coats of Duplicolor Lacquer Primer and then two coats of Testors Classic White Lacquer
The rear axle has been shortened, all tires and wheels have been glued on, the wheelie bar stabilizer rod has been installed, and the Simpson decals have been placed on the shoulder harness straps
Now we need body decals, chute pack and mount, chrome on the firewall, and throttle linkage and we're pretty much done with this beast
