While waiting for Glosscote to fully cure I took these gratuitous images of the main saucer shuttle bay. I do like how the "porch lights" turned out with two bent fiber strands pointing down under the shuttle control room overhang. The second coat of Glosscote went on the nacelles and struts only.

The masking tape on the strongback is there only to protect the paint from the oils on my hand as it's the spot where I grab the model most of the time,.

It will come off before I decal the secondary hull which will be the last thing decaled:

I like this angle looking up from under the front of the nacelle. You can even see the ends of the two lit fibers:

Next thing will be decaling the nacelles.
