That bronze colour is amazing!
Looking good! I can't wait to see it all finished.Base coating is done.
I am using Milliput Standard Epoxy putty to fill in and harden the layer separations, and Bondo Glazing and Spot putty to smooth the layer lines with light sanding. I started at 400 grit, then moved to 600 and finally 800 grit. It is super smooth, but you DO want to wear PPE while sanding.WOW! Looks really nice! Cant even see any layer lines, especially on the wings. Is that just bondo and sanding? Or are you doing anything else?

I've swapped to a 0.6 nozzle and a 0.4 layer height. Turned off the cooling fan. Now we wait and see.I would definatly look more into the layer seperation issue before printing more parts because it is making your parts weaker, love the paintjob!
