Need to start thinking about the paint job! Not sure what primer to use on "doped" fabric. Just ordinary "primer"? Or do I need to use something else to pre-treat the doped surface?

which paint scheme are you going to apply? - because if those wings and tail surfaces are going to be yellow and that surface is smooth with no sanding required you probably don't need the primer on them. Are you doing the RAF paint scheme? https://i.imgur.com/dVYHWrx.jpg

your model looks terrific in the natural daylight Bob -

Yes that was my idea. I like that scheme.... Thank you for your comment!

Beautiful model, Bob. That cabin is especially nice. I look forward to seeing your paint scheme.

Thank you BP! This has not been an easy build - lots of mistakes and pitfalls along the way, but satisfying all the same. I'm at final filling, smoothing stage and trying to get to grips with brushing a smooth coat of Acrylic paint on.

I checked out the RAF color scheme link that Heywooood provided. I like that a lot. It looked great on the Tiger Moth and will look awesome on your Q6. DD would be a good source for your acrylic over dope question. I think he told me once that all his finishes are acrylic over dope.

Yup!
