Good call

Thanks guys. I've now got all the bits on the fuselage so she is ready for the big spray sequence, but before I venture into that mine field, a dry fit of the wings was called for. As you can see, not a problem, we have a very snug fit.

Thanks for looking in gents and for the kind words. Just a little update though it has been a bit of a pain getting here. Sciatica has been plaguing me since Thursday arvo and today has been a round of doctors, blood tests, CT scan and prescription gathering, so now I await the results. Regardless of all this, to keep occupied and on the move I managed to spray up the fuselage ring, tail rudder and nose cone with a nice white and an orange yellow (Gelb RLM 04) to the under-nose cowling.

With luck I'll be ready to do the masking and get on with more paint spraying tomorrow. I still have to do the seat belts but I don't think that is going to happen just yet.

Geez, hope you can sort the sciatica Vic.
Nice work on the 109.

 

[Airframes]

With Evan, and nice work Vic.

Looks great Vic and I "feel" your pain. Had a bad bout of sciatica when I was 40 and couldn't sit. Lots of physio and short walks got it solved but everyone's case is unique.

Very nice Vic

 

[le_steph40]

Vic and I wish you a quick recovery

 

[Wayne Little]

Good work and take care Vic.

Sucks about the sciatica Vic. The wife suffers from it occasionally

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Thank you Gents for all your thoughts, medication is making life easier and I go back to the doc next week to check on the test/CT results.

Many thanks for the kind thought gent's. Between standing, sitting and hopping I managed to get a number of things done today. I did an initial base/surface coat spray followed by a bit of a gentle rub down before applying some hairspray (I'm experimenting). Had to then get dinner on the go in the slow cooker. This was then followed by an aluminium spray, to the model, and another hairspray. I then added a second aluminium spray before (yes you have guessed it) another hairspray. So this is where I'm at but I keep looking at the seat belts and cringing.
