Yes it is got email this morning @5am test for influenza A&B were negative and from what I understand A would test for CV19?I am calling the office later today for confirmation.

No COV-19 test no fever or sore throat just the dry cough and pneumonia

Well I have not stopped working I seem to feel better later in the day so I have been working on props.What we have here is the kit prop,aftermarket which I do not care for and kit prop re-shaped.I think a little more shaping on the backside of the prop and it will be good to go still alittle fat.The after market props have defects in the face and are so frigg'in thin I can bend them so I cannot sand out the defects.The other problem if they go to rotate the blades will begin to move and flatten out possibly.I am about 50% through engine #2.





So I paid $30 for some templates

I thought I show a pic as the ignition wires are being placed in before painting rubber color and they start blending in only 14 more to go and 14 pipes out the back.

Last pics for the day guys promise engine is done and this one will be partly open and the L/LG was put together the parts box is becoming quite bare

Today has been decals,props and wash day.I made up a solution of burnt umber from a tube and thinner and started on the panel lines and just kept looking at the silver to bright/clean?So,I started with the tailplanes undersides liked the effect just enough lay down a coat wait about one minute or so and gently wipe witha smooth paper towel. The first pic shows the solution laid to the back of the bombbay door.Pic2 shows the whole side done.Pic3 shows the area behind the bomb bay untouched and Pic4 shows OD and decals all swapped down though subtle the decals are dirty now.I think when all done and in natural lighting it will all show.

Kevin

 

[Airframes]
