Today delivered the good day that the Weather Bureau promised – mild temperature, low humidity. A perfect day to spray the current builds with semi-matte varnish to seal in the decals. It was rattle can work, and finished in five minutes.
The evening saw some additional painting and detailing…then attachment of the fiddly little parts – wheels, tank, pitot, canopy, and radio masts. The cherry on the top is always the propeller as I balance the planes carefully on the wing’s trailing edges and then get the prop on square.
The little bit of grey ink that I pen into the flap and aileron lines isn’t really weathering but it’s a start.
Now I have 3 target tugs – one RCAF, one RAAF, one USN. I have plans for several more including the one they used to shoot at with breakable bullets to train bomber gunners.
