Power Coupler's 1.2

Sprayed power coupler silver. Then on with the blue


Also had to trim some more of the power couplers tabs for it to fit to MY frame work. Next, the blue outside bits, I simply masked off and also used a circle piece of cardboard. Then gave a few coats of blue. My blue that I've been using is Plasti-kote metalic blue 135S (the image does look blue, more purple). 

Bent some strip metal into a bracket to hold the coupler in place. Drilled and taped a 5mm hole in the back centre of the coupler. Then screwed a small bolt through the bracket to secure. Then screwed the bracket to the base and frame.

For the inner blue parts, I sprayed the blue into a spare spray can lid and then used a file paint brush. Results...... not to bad. Any mistakes will be covered up with 'weathering' paint.

Primer spraying components 2

Sanded the Ankle Details to clean them up and then gave them a few more coats of primer.

Also re-sprayed the Octogan Port side walls.

I then used araldite to glue the Top Vent internals together. Once dried I'll attache the back plate to them. This will hold the plate in place meaning I wont need to secure it to the rear of the Vent Surround.

My first bit of spraying! Primmer on 'ankle details' & 'octagon port' internal walls.

Ankle Details are not so smooth now lol.
