Looks great, Red.  Challenging to paint fully assembled.  Hat's off.
Cheers,

It's looking good Red.  Looking forward to see how you do the rigging.

Dont think I'll finish the rigging today lol, been working since I got up and I only have two wires on the wings and half of the tail rigging done. I got all the wire terminals in place now, was using super glue to attach them but they kept snapping off so I just coated one end in plastic cement and attach that to the wing and it seems to be holding really well, in the mean time I've got most of the wires on the tail done, only two of the rudder support cables to go then I start on the wings.

You are doing an incredible job. I don't know how you managed to paint fully assembled.... but well done!

To be honest I don't know how you guys can paint without it fully assembled, by the time I'm done putting the kit together everything is so covered in glue and in need of sanding that there's no way it would look any good if I had painted it before-hand lol.

All finished now, added some more dirt to the undercarriage, bottoms of the wings and up the sides of the fuselage. Loved and hated using the EZ line for rigging.









Thanks for looking, might have better pics later on.

Really beautiful, Red.  Remarkable transformation from an unpainted, fully assembled model to a very convincing replica.  Very impressive.
