Nice one Wayne, I like the camo and can't wait to see what you pull out of the hat on this one.

Don't worry, Thar's still some filling and sanding to be done on the underside of the fuselage where it meets the wings. But not much.....!

But there is always a work we have to do if these cavities have to be removed.
