Hope you feel better Paul.

Work it Gary! :popcorn

I know you Canadians are LOL at this, it's old game for you. We in the US are facing a winter storm warning that has people scrambling, including me. https://www.weather.gov Since the hurricane last year I have been getting more prepared for service interruption. I have a gas range now so I can...

You'll get it figured out Paddy :sawall

Just a peak around the corner. :soldier

Thanks Paddy, did I see Adolf Garland in there?

But you got your money shot right there, sand blasted wing root.

Depends on how deep you want the sand blasting. Down to bare metal or just primer exposed.

There's a lot to analyze Paddy, could be the camo disappears under the dirt off these guys boots. Just the way the light reflects off the dirt could make the color disappear, but the color is still there? It's really hard to see a lot of wear on the painted surfaces of these Spits. Could be the...

Yeah? What about OD!? Even those who wore it didn't agree which was right.

Looks like it belongs in a museum! :notworthy :notworthy :notworthy :notworthy

Thanks Rich, instructions do call this out. Will have it correct shortly. Everything is dry fitted just now. I want to get the seat and sidewalls painted and weathered up before I commit all the sub assemblies.

Here, happy? There's a lot of work that can be done in the cockpit. Including rigging! And you thought because you're in a more modern aircraft you don't have rigging? BTW, anyone else notice that the rudder peddles are deflected? The way they are molded the rudder should be cocked over to the...
