Looking good!

Yes, the matte foil is more brittle than the other shades. Plain old chrome has always been the most flexible in my experience, but age affects it and makes it brittle also.

I got the leading edges done and have started on the fuselage.  I had to move off the workbench because the model is so big and the foil was getting dinged up.

It's been a week with no progress report but I've been working 1-2 hours on it every night.  With the obvious exception of the nose and nacelles the upper surfaces are all done now.  The nose will probably take me the rest of the week, I'm expecting doing that greenhouse is going to take forever.
