Thanks Rick  :) I'm slowly plugging away at it and just have a few areas to detail on the cowling panels and I think everything is ready for primer for the re-touch up of filling , sanding replacing detail again . Other then that it is going rather well . Should have an update over the long weekend .

As I sat there thinking about how to make repairs on the N-17 . I started back on this and added the missing fastrens on the top cowl panels ...

Thank-you Ermeio . I finished up the fastrens and got the front wind screen in place and I'm ready for masking and let the painting begin !

Terri,
    That bottom view shows the wheel well detail beautifully, what a great job you've done there! My compliments, she's going to be an absolute beauty! Looking forward to seeing this one in the "Completed" section!
Cheers,
Lance

Thanks Lance for the comments about my bottom ! :o ;)

I sprayed the white last night for the ID bands . The black is decal so hopefully my measurements are correct for the white . Clear coating tonight and should be able to start decaling tomorrow and have this wrap over the weekend .

Almost missed the black ID bands on the tail planes  :o That is now corrected and clear coating under way  :) I'm getting there !


Can you guess which scheme this is going to be ?

Well , was not expecting this part to go smoothly but in the end it turned out rather well . Next time I will mask and spray the black bands . Just save a lot time . I had to remove the star and bars from the under side of the wing because I got it in the wrong position , masking tape saved me .

Second round of decaling done . Now comes all the tiny little stencils which will take a few sessions .
