Top wing on. All rigging done. Is that a light at the end of the tunnel I can see?

Re: Toby's Dragon Rapide
Getting there. A few issues with the frailty of the U/C struts but hopefully I've fixed them and also the port wing tip warped but again hopefully sorted that as well

Re: Toby's Dragon Rapide
The old decals went on surprisingly well although I'm hoping that a coat of gloss varnish will liven them up. Hope to get this finished by the weekend

Re: Toby's Dragon Rapide
I got a move on. All done well it is as far as I'm concerned. Can't even see the lack of antimacassars
