Wow, I forgot about that. Too bad you're not able to make it down to Hobby Days; we have plenty of area to spray paint and nobody is around to complain. Well, your work is well worth the wait, so I'll hang in and enjoy the anticipation of seeing your great work when you're able to continue.speedgraflex wrote: ↑Tue Apr 14, 2026 6:02 pm Thanks so much, Mark and Mike! Unfortunately my neighbors upstairs are keeping hours at home that conflict with mine. I don’t want any complaints about the smell causing headaches as was reported previously. I am going to go ahead with detailing fasteners for the two side panels as I wait for an opportunity to spray outside. I’m also considering some form of interior spray booth arrangement if I can figure one out.

Carlos, Tom and Joe,
Thanks for your support. This is not something taken lightly. I’ve been touching up the areas around the new panels; fingers crossed; I hope the areas where the intakes are located will finally be ready for primer checks.
I also probably over-sanded the scratch built primary fuel tank and lost some of the strap details. I’m not sure how much that matters but I think I’ll add back what I over-sanded using some CA as a filler and Tamiya tape as a former to channel the CA. I’d like to start building the IP this week to get out of this particular construction phase and give you fellas something more exciting to see.

Schulz was a true cartoon genius. No doubt about it, Carlos!
