Brian ,

Thx for your info. I’m using devwing to set-up the wing. I’ll have a look into the design.

Br,

It’s been a little while since I last posted as my attention has been focused elsewhere. However I have now started on the paintwork – not my favourite task. The fuselage is sprayed in a white and red scheme which appears fairly simple. When I had the white undercoat in place it shows up all the imperfections in the structure. There then followed a period of re-applying filler to certain areas and sanding once again. This was followed with more primer. Once the rattle-can Appliance Gloss White gloss coat was applied all the lumps and bumps became even more apparent. I came to the conclusion that most of this was down to the fuselage structure and there was only so much corrective filler that I was prepared to apply as it was all adding weight. I have also now added the red colouring to the undersides and the fin flash. All in all, I am not happy with the finish but it will just have to suffice – it will look Ok when 50ft away.
You will also see from the photos that I have added the rudder and am presently in the process of mounting the servo and control runs.

Finish looks good to me Brian. The full size all have bumps, dings and waves, so you’ve just built in extra authenticity.

That might be so Roj, but I am still not best pleased with the finished article.
