Re: The Bee Gee Gee Bee Racer
After a second coat of Carmine Red:
The slight over spray of red was easy to scratch off with my thumbnail, as it was over a layer of Future from the decalling. That saved a lot of time.

That plane was built with a kid's cartoon film in mind!
Looking good Andrew

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

This chap is the shirt-sleeved mechanic from the Eduard WW1 RFC set. He's going to be leaning over the open door, talking to the seated pilot.
Some grass matting has also been stuck to a CD for the base.

The Gee Bee gets the decals on the spats. One of them broke up, so there will be some patching and paint work to do.
Our mechanic has also been painted, and is waiting for the door to be attached, so he can lean on it!
The door has had the decals applied and is just drying off.
I also had to make a new CD base, as I can't find the one I made last night!
