Kind of a landmark day for me. Not only went RC flying in the morning, but this evening is the first time since my surgery that I have sat at the bench and worked steadily on a model for a couple of hours.
I got the U/C rigged with glue blob turnbuckles. Painted the rear wing root fairings. Installed lower elevator PE control horns, rigged & painted same. Touched up green under stabilizer. Trimmed & painted plastic card strip used for hinges. Painted front of fuselage black so it would just show with the spinner in place. Stuck the spinner on the half dry paint.
May not be much, but it was loose ends needing dealt with and I did so in an organized manner, so yeah a good day for a change.

Here it sits with all the loose ends tied up
Head on to show the UC rigging and the black behind the spinner.

The underside of the stab and fuselage. Got a bit messed up, but will look better after final clear coating. That white stripe decal gave me fits applying. Way to flimsy for my heavy hands. I was lucky to get it on with as little mess as it has. Maybe a bit of a rub with fine grit and then mask and lightly spray. OTOH, just never pick it up and look at the bottom :-)
