Nice job Tommy.........do you heat your rattle cans up in hot water.

Rattle can white can be hard to get looking good. As Boots asked do you warm your paint? It does help.

With the can warmed up just a little the paint will flow better, and a finer mist of paint will be the result. It looks good it being the first coat.

Nicely done Tommy . And the chaps are right, I always warm my primer up before spraying, much better than using a cold can

Thanks guys, I did as you said and was still too runny. I think there was nothing for the paint to grip to. Sanded it down, used Tamiya flat white through the AB and then when dry, the rattle can again. This time, smooth finish.

Tommy, you will have a small issue with that aileron over the top of the car, you will need to remove it in order to get the decals on, they are a little oversized on the engine deck.

Yes, I noticed that in the instructions but too late. It is CBFH moment. Luckily, with some cutting and VMS decal softener and some mud, it should be alright.
