Clayton, since you are obviously just starting the fuselage............trust 
me, get used to fabricating, you are going to be doing a lot more of it (in 
a very short time) than you did on the emp and wings combined:-)  Like Dan 
said, if it's an O, you're gonna to need it.

  The wing tips do they need to be primed? With that white coating on it
looks like one could paint right over it.

You can paint right over it but your paint job will peel and come off before
you are ready to paint it again.  Your paint needs a good grip to hold on
to.  Here is how I did it.

You will want to sand the wing tips ( and all fiberglass parts for that
matter ) first with 100-200 grit sandpaper to get the shine off before
cleaning well to remove any grease or wax then use something like
smoothprime followed by more sanding with 330 grit to get a nice smooth
finish and that will hold paint.  The smoothprime  prepares it for your
primer that you will be using on the whole plane.  Put 4-7 coats of
smoothprime on before starting to sand it out.  It dries pretty fast with
thin coats applied.  You want to get all those little pin holes in the
fiberglass to disappear.  Wear something for protection to keep the dust out
of your lungs.   Wear your oldest clothes.  Suggest you do sanding outside
cause the dust gets everywhere.
