The 1B has now been shot with (2) coats of gloss white. All of the black and silver sections I'll paint by hand. The faux engine assembly has been hand painted by "The Vixen".

I discovered an anomaly with the faux engine assembly: the completed faux engine assembly won't retain itself within the model's rear cavity by itself, so I cut (4) short pieces of 1/4" launch lug and arranged them around the assembly's central BT every 90 degrees so the faux engine assembly will friction-fit and retain itself in the rear cavity.

Yeah, I know---I overthink stuff sometimes.
