I've had several out-of-town trips and a cold in the last few weeks, which has slowed progress. Things are coming along, though not fast enough to present much of a chance of being done by the deadline. Painting is done. Tamiya aluminum overall with Testors chrome for the cowling gave me a contrast that I liked. Upper wings and landing gear should go on tomorrow. By the deadline I'll probably be able to do the decals or the rigging, but probably not both.

Coming along. Major assembly about done. The struts were a headache, with the brittle old plastic tending to snap in my fingers. Otherwise not too bad. Time to rig or decal; I still can't decide which to do first.

Looking good. Remember doing this more years ago than I care to recall. You're doing a far better job than I did

Really nice.

I usually decal first. Then if I don't feel like rigging, it's "finished" :mrgreen:
