Priming’s done.

The previous post shows pictures before and after the first coat of primer. Intentionally, it was a pretty light coat. After letting it set, I sanded the primer to smooth, then painted a second coat. That second coat is now drying; I expect to sand on Monday, spray the base white color coat on Tuesday or Wednesday.

I figure the rocket will need two coats of white; after those set and dry, I’ll mask the roll pattern and start working on the silver highlights and the little paint details (SM RCS nozzles, for example).
