Thanks for looking in again and for all your kind comments.
Stefan - I was referring to painting (with Mr Metal Colour "Stainless") the control cables for the ailerons. I use the same technique for this as many here, cutting Post It Notes and sliding them under the wires to catch any drops or spray. All of the struts were pre-painted
Richard - The tapes will be a real bonus when available. I'm not quite sure how were going to do it but Gary, Chris, and I wish to provide some sort of photo coverage to you for your Site. Least we can do to thank you for making this Set available. In the interim I'll send you some photos separately once She's done.
Ernie - Glad you mentioned the lower wing fit, as I had forgotten the (minor) problems I had fitting it. I encountered two problems:
The fuselage width was slightly wide for the edges of the wings to fit into their "notch', I suspect this was caused by the base paint, lozenge, and several coats of Future and S/Gloss top coat on the fuselage. I tried to force the issue and ended up (Surprise!!) with anhedral on the lower wing and a cracked spar. The solution was to shave the inner ends of the wings after repairing the broken spar.
Second problem was the forward spar had to be shaved down as well along it's leading edge to ensure a good fit, this was a minor operation compared to the first one.
I got the rudder fitted last night, have a half day or less of work to get her finished.
Unfortunately it's the weekend, Supervision in "on-site" and there's a myriad of house and yard things that must be done NOW!
Might be a day or two before another (hopefully the final) Update.
Cheers,
Lance
