Thanks guys, your comments are graciously accepted.

This day, during a no touch period on my Stang I sprayed some white primer on the floats, just to see what needs attention.

I sailor on.

Couple of nice floaters you've got there mate.

 

[N4521U]

You been lookin in my toilet Vic??????? floaters.....

It's not that difficult when you have a rivet spacer template. Fiddely, but not too.
Now that the Mustabg is finished, I can get back on to this one and mny HARS builds.

 

[Wayne Little]

nicely rivetted Bill....

 

[Wildcat]

Good job on the rivets Bill.

[Wurger]

Bacon, bacon... who needs some of bacon?

 

[Wayne Little]

I'll take a rasher or two!

 

[N4521U]

Now my own thread has gone to bacon........ arrrrrrrrrrrrrh.

Back to the build.
Looky what I found...... now How sguare is the bottom wing to the centerlind of the fuselage??????? I ask you!

I've had to remove the wing, file and sand............. the wing from the Other kit as the one attached is not salvageable, and hack to get it square. And I had already fitted the ailerons to the original wing............. Dam! Another delay in finishing.

 

[Wayne Little]

A slight tweek needed, me thinks!

 

[Crimea_River]

A little right rudder trim should make it fly straight...

 

[Vic Balshaw]

I got to ask the question Bill. Outside of yourself, would anyone have noticed!!



Now for some REAL rashers of bacon
