Looks great Glenn. Don't rush it now as I think we're extending the build a bit.
That is a relief Andy, I hadn't seen any responses from any of the other judges so I wasn't sure. I just did a marathon 6 hour session trying to get it done and I don't think I could make it by Friday night when I go out of town. The holdup is going to be the canopy. I didn't dip it in Future until this afternoon which means I can't mask it before tomorrow (and I think that would be pushing it), and then another day for the silver paint to cure before installation. Just not enough days.
Well anyway, here are some pictures from the last 6 hours
1) The sludge wash on. I always look at the model at this point and think "what the hell have I just done".
2) The sludge wiped off. The one close up picture of "Expected Goose" I have shows it rather weathered with the aluminum oxidized so I left quite a bit on. The pic also shows the engine finally mounted and the prop, cowling, bomb, and fuel tanks completed
3&4) Dull coat on and the cowl mounted showing he dirt and oxidized aluminum
5) The bomb and landing gear mounted.
I also worked on a lot of the other miscellaneous parts so they are ready to mount when I need them.
A small extension would be a big help. I wouldn't have to push my luck with the canopy that way.
