Not much to say here but as mentioned before rub down the hull and make sure you have a very even finish as this will show even when painted.It is recommended that an undercoat be applied to aid with finding any faults.

I was told by a friend that a good can of spray paint works just fine for the white part of the hull. Just make sure you mask off the rest of the ship!

Once happy leave to dry for at least 48 hours. This is where you can fabricate other parts of the build,(paint the eyelets, Upper rail Brass fixtures etc).
