It's looking good Chris. What I could see of the interior stands out well, and I think it's going to be a pretty impressive model when done.

Thanks guys. Only had one headache last night and feeling better as soon as the meds clear my system. 4 weeks of pain killers makes one dream of lollipops.
Starting to think about paint so I checked my old stash. Thought I would have to buy at least a gloss coat but, lo and behold I have a brand new unopened container so I'm good there. But my other colors are seriously lacking. Off to the Hobby shop!
Also debating whether to attach the mass balancers onto the wings before or after paint. I hate to break stuff off while handling.

Yep, John Bonham on drums and Freddie Mercury was on vocals. Marlon Brando was there - why? I have no clue!

Chris, leave off all the small bits, especially those delicate aileron mass balances, until the paint and final semi-matt coat has been done. If you're like me, and probably most of us, they'll go 'Ping' otherwise!
Glad to hear you're on the up, let's hope the improvement is rapid and good.

I'm out of the woods but into the quicksand.
One headache in the past 4 days. Great! So onto the 410.
I need paint.
I checked my stash and what I have of the colors is old. So old I can make pottery with it. Maybe a nice ashtray. I haven't been able to just yet to make it to the Hobby store for supplies, work has been picking up even on my days off - lots of court time, seminars (going to one this Sunday!) and school presentations. Someone remind me why I wanted to be a supervisor?
But within the next few days should be able to gather the war paint and onto the next adventure!

Back in the Saddle........
Life has been kickin' me around the last few weeks. Can't explain but everything was collapsing for a while there. But hopefully back on track.
I will be going to the Hobby store tommorrow and finally gather up the paints I need and start the next phase. That and I have 2 weeks worth of stuff for the Daily Europe thread. !! I have the next 2 days off so I should be able to catch up with everything.
Thanks Marcel for the PM!
Can't wait for retirement!
