its a bit like painting the whole aircraft in brown, then putting the green camo pattern on top.
why waste paint, paint is money. :P

well after sorting out the apple tree that decided to fall down during the night, i managed to get a little bit done.


all needs a second coat next and then panel lines and final sealing.

Apple wood smells lovely when you put it on the fire! ;)

if you are calm and collected when all about you are going berserk - you've missed something important!

Any whoo
i have done the first coat of sealant on the underside of the wing, done the few panel lines i want on the top of the wing.
made up the gun blisters and given the top 1 coat of sealant.
2 more coats on each side to go.
then fit the flaps and ailerons and chuck in the corner until i can.
A) fly better
B ) afford to fit it out.
be back to the Lancaster next week.
