Hi Shaun,
Yeah, I'm a beginner as far as brazing is concerned... That little hole in the braze is no problem it's just in the surface so can be ignored. If I was bothered I could just flash the torch back over it to melt it closed.
Painting isn't part of the course but I'm happy with a spray gun so I'll prime or and paint it when I get home.
I'm thinking of doing the whole thing in eggshell blue, the same colour as K5054, the prototype Spitfire. I've always liked the colour. Then it'll get a decal or two once I've decided what to put on the head tube and downtube followed by a few coats of wheel lacquer to harden it off.
