Wing struts next.

I masked the lower wing and sprayed the top camouflage color in the "crotch" between wing and fuselage. I also sprayed the lift strut upper sections prior to installing them, all this to make masking easier for final painting. The next step was easy, drilling out the locating points and gluing the struts on.

After the struts were dry I tacked the landing gear struts to their location at the base of the wing struts. Once they were aligned I used CA to atttach them and set the airplane in this very home-made fixture to maintain the alignment while the adhesive cures.

Now to finish the engine and then final painting can commence!

The engine is now ready to install and the airplane can now sit on the gear without the alignment fixture. Next will be some extra detailing on the fuselage and then paint.

In the first photo you can (barely) see some of the enhancements to the fuselage. I made a set of boarding grips just forward of the cockpit opening from brass wire. The two long white strips are splice doublers that are fairly prominent on the original airplane and I fashioned these from .005" sheet styrene. The rudder horns, linkage, and fairings were fabbed from styrene and little pieces of wire.

Today I managed to paint the airplane and tonight the clearcoat was applied.

Yep, and I sprayed the decal sheet with clear lacquer to help rejuvenate the images. This will be the first time I use a decal sheet that had gotten wet while in the box so I'm expecting a little difficulty.

The two test decals have worked so I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

The decals are putting up a struggle, but patience is winning out so far. Once the film detaches from the backing paper these are beautiful and lay down very nicely even on the corrugated wing surfaces.
