Hi Lads: Re-did the rear canopy windows with a stiffer cellulose, and re-covered as necessary. Also painted the spinner yellow, added the tail wheel doors, and the cooler extension on top of the fuselage. Methinks the windows look much better.

Oh... did the wing fairings, too.

Thanks, Dale. Getting into the swing of things with dialysis, and learning to pace myself. Feel pretty good, most of the time, and I know when to call it quits and sit down.
