Thanks Matt Jerry. Got two good coats of MM's Lacquer Clear-Coat on the floatplane this morning. You can hardly notice the damaged area. Made an antenna mast out of a shrimp skewer and used my variable speed Ryobi power drill and some sandpaper to shape it. Cut a hole in the top of the fuselage, to get to some wood, and super-glued the mast in place.
Does anybody have a good pic of the Spit pitot tube ? The plans call for a bent pin under the port wing. A bent pin ? Gimme a break !! Surely I can do better than a bent pin.
The LHS still tells me the supplier of the black tape I wanna use to outline the ailerons, flaps, rudder, etc is still on back order. I guess I can wait a bit, or I can stick a bent pin under the wing, attach the canopy and call it finished.
