The cabine

First I bought a new cabine and started to paint with color from a hardware store but the result wasn't as expected.



Some areas are rough and the color is too thick, structures are covered.

But after having a look at the old cabine I saw, that the professional painter hasn't worked correctly. It seems that he didn't use a primer. I could pull the paint of the cabine with a cutter.





Now I had a clean cabine and I decided to start again. It was also needed because with the last cabine I forgot to modify 2 things. The holes for the pipes must be wided for 2mm because the holdings at the pipes are set 2mm too high, error in measuring. In addition not all holes were closed.

So pictures will say mor than 1000 words:















Yesterday I started to paint again, now with primer and colors from Tamiya

Here's the cabine after priming and wet grinding.
