Wow Lyle, what a tremendous job you're doing here! I love the metal finish and I commend you on sticking with this to get the decals down right. I know you'll get this done!

Getting closer and getting more impatient to finish it. All that is left is to stripe the spinner. Right. Add the antenna and loop antenna on the spine, main gear, tail wheel, clear coat and propeller.

Patched the gap on the underside of the checkerboard.

Also a patch on the checkerboard under the front edge of the exhaust stack.

Thank you, John. She is a 4-footer for sure.

I hope so. This was supposed to be quick, relatively speaking. She is on her legs, tailwheel strut is in and one more stripe on the spinner to go!
