I would imagine the original window got dusty, dirty, smudged, etc. The rear window on the rag top of my old 1970 TR6 sure wasn't pristine. :)

Ooh I'd like a TR6   8) I've been looking everywhere the last few months for a nice classic but came to the conclusion all the ones I wanted were silly prices  ::)

Just a final thought on CDL....

Guy, I freely admit I cried when I wrecked mine, the insurance company totaled it, and my insurance agent's son was seen driving it a month later. Hmmmmmmm.  ??? ???  I was only 17, and full of myself.

Nice CDL image!

I've got the fuselage together  :)

I've said before, but I do find seams very hard to make disappear completely - it seems such a basic part of modelling! Sand it to death  :P/ superglue the seam/ Mr Surfacer 500 the seam/ drown it in Mr Surfacer 1200... It goes eventually, but does anyone have any top tips?

I wasn't sure how to do the fuse. Apparently it was plywood panelled - and painted dark brown (on the prototypes at least). But I think it would look a bit rubbish if it was just painted dark brown. I could do it a light ply, but not sure that would look right either, so I think I'm going to go for a dark wood varnished look - probably not correct, but I'm claiming 'artistic licence'  ::)

I've given a nod towards panelling by a couple of varying shades on the fuse...





I've also touched up the lower wings as per you're recommendations  ;) it does actually look a lot better - thanks RB..




Hopefully the fuse will turn out ok  ???

Man, you are cookin' with gas! This all looks great!

Would love to see that same CDL plane from above just to see how much of the interior wood work is "visible".

Cheers from NYC,

I had a '78 baby blue Fiat spider (with matching Disco clothes to match). Sold it to a kid when I moved to NYC and he rolled it a few weeks later. That was the only time I've been glad someone wasn't wearing a set belt as he was thrown clear.  I cried, too, Warren.

Wonderful, wonderful work Guy!

I'd cry too if I had owned disco clothes then too Michael.  ;) ;) :P :-*

The touch up on the wing cross and ribs looks great! I am envious of your paint work!

Thank you for providing the updated photo of the wing's upper side. I think the cross looks much better now.

The touch up on the CDL is spot on. I'll be watching the next installment to see the "paneling for seaplanes" episode, I'm sure it will be interesting.
