Next step will be spraying and deciding weather or not she should wait until I have less stuff on my mind and pull her out or...finish it.

I must of spent $40 on Alclad Chrome for my B17 G and I put on the cowls to have the chrome be different shades. Totally lost in interest now. Besides migrating from Metal finishes ive invested in Testors metalizer..

I have to pull her out of the GB. Definitely will not be enough time. I have such a busy month and I have to work on the paint a bit more. Just not happening.

Sorry guys

That's a bummer H. Don't give up totally though, just do what you can, when you can. If it's finished, fine. If not, no probs.
