Time for paint! Note the dowel/engine casing painting wand locked in the engine mount. I tend to leave this handle in through much of the build, paint and decal placement. It's easier to hold and not as risky for fingerprints.
This shows some of the spots where the sanding has removed glue blobs. The intake fillet also had some high spots.
I've been using Ace Premium Enamel (Ace Hardware brand) spray paint for a while now. Shoot when humidity is low, around 2:30 in the afternoon.
The Ace paint dries to the touch in about an hour, recoat within an hour or after 48 hours.
After one hour I was able to handle the model and do the initial undercoat sanding shown above.
