Progress has slowed somewhat as I am masking the canopy.

A few beers inbetween frames might help with the fun.

What a cunning plan. Will do.

[Sissel]

Are you done with the masking and beer drinking yet?

[Miss-Stang]

Hope the canopy's coming along ok?

Must admit, I found the vodka helped me, hope the beer's helped you

[Sissel]

He is very quiet. I don't hope he got fed and up smashed it. I could have done that.
Or just forgotton about the canopy and stick to the beer.

Or maybe he's got locked in the chicken coop?

Sorry for the lack of updates, been dealing with a broken boiler the last couple of days. Still no hot water. Anyway I have made some progress.

I got the pilot painted & installed. Sorry, forgot to take any pics.

I masked the canopy eventually & painted the frame work interior green. It was at this point that I realised the canopy fit was awful. It met at the front but looked like it came from a different kit at the back end!
Anyway after a few hours work I got it attached.



So next up I covered the lights & engine then applied a coat of primer.



I always feel like its getting somewhere once a coat of paint goes on.
So after leaving it overnight I got a couple of coats of silver on.



So that's where I am up to. Now to plan some masking.

[Miss-Stang]

Sorry to hear about your boiler problems OT, but glad you're back! Coming along nicely, the silver looks good.

[Sissel]

Sorry about the boiler. It's a good thing you didn't have an 'Ian-day' while working on it.

Texan coming along great, and it looks like you won that fight regards canopy fit. Looks good.

[Old_Tonto]

Thanks for the comments all. The silver should shine up nicely under a coat of klear. I hope to experiment a little tonight spraying orange paint.

[Gregers]

Looks good so far. Can't wait for the next instalment.

All the best.

Greg
