Man, this is some project Al. Glad you're still having fun with it.

Steve.. That's not a lunch box, it's a tool box..
Just saying Wink

The big problem is the iron getting the glue on it and causing it to track and drag along the edges. I need to stop and clean it almost after each pass but I'm getting there. A shot of the rudder.

Some minor panel line changes to come and the pinks need to overlap the wing rib onto the cabane aft of the fuel tank. These are the things I really enjoy doing. They also mean there's an end in sight.

Time for an update. I've been working on it but I ran out of pinking tape and it takes a few weeks to get more. It arrived the middle of last week and I plunged into the arduous task. Well now the pinks are all on and it was fun and interesting but this plane has some serious footage of the stuff and now I'm glad it's over.

A few more pics
