A few days where little got done due to work and, on Thursday at least, extreme tiredness (I hate earlies!), but plodding through an hour or so's work per night on tidy up, seem checking and some masking and stuff.
I'm trying out a more complete assembly before painting here. For twenty or more years I've ribbed my good friend Craig Sargent on how incredibly complete he gets his models before painting. . . it always looks like a recipe for disaster to me, with so many fragile parts to work around. But on the other hand he is one of the very best modellers I know, so there must be SOMETHING in it, right?!? So we'll see how clumsy I am, and how much I'll break painting it!
See you after paint. . . I hope.

My reasoning is, having seen many times how little gets removed when a real aircraft goes into a paint shop, "if they can do it with a full-size jet, sure replicating it in scale should be possible using the same logic". Every so often, that fails miserably, but the upside is not having to scrape paint or use complex setups to get parts to attach after painting. But to be fair, my completion rate is quite a bit lower than yours for possibly little to no gain.
