Can anyone confirm the degree to which the QB kits (the 8 in particular) are alodyned and primed? There is only one reference on the Vans site that I can find to priming, and it offers no detail.
Is each component part primed individually before assembly? Fully or just along the rivet/assembly lines? Which paint is used?
Can anyone also speak to the build quality of the QB? I assume that if you want a show plane, you wouldn't start with a QB, is that right? But how close to a good build quality is it - one that you can be proud of? What about resale value - does the market differentiate between a standard build and quick build kit?
