Prep and paint!

While waiting for the finishing kit, Allen is painting the parts rather than painting the airplane when it is all together.  The color is Matterhorn White.  Right now we are doing this as a base coat, trim we will decide on later.  We are considering an aircraft wrap for the trim scheme.

The paint has arrived!
