More sanding on the cowling, then etch primed and then 2 pack epoxy painted the cowling Sanded the fuselag and then painted that too! Took the canopy off and painted that as well. A bit more painting tomorrow to fix the gap between cowling and fuselage... wasnt happy with the gap size, so filled with flox/Carbosil and thens sanded down, and then 3 hours with a 1/16" needle file to get the gap consistent. Tedious! I epoxied (flox and microballoons) the tank rivet lines after degreasing and sanding. No rivet heads visible, and teh flox sticks like shit to a blanket so hopefilly no more bubbling. More paint tomorrow. I need to paint the upper intersection fairings, an then THE FIBREGLASS IS DONE! 4 months of mess and frustration mixwd with mind numbing tedium. It does liook pretty neat though! |
