| Frames being covered, wet, with Esaki tissue. The color scheme is right off the box cover. The bottom of the fuselage is covered with blue tissue. The blue side flashes will be added, dry, as trim after the fuselage has it's first Krylon misting. The blue tissue would turn green with the yellow under it if applied wet. Then the fuselage will get another Krylon misting. Yes, the struts are covered with tissue. |

| The basic sanding is done and after the cowl key and magnets I will be able to start the covering process. There are a couple of other changes from stock...I added the wing locating pins, like my Beaver and Porter designs, to keep the incidence correct and a real tailwheel instead of the wooden cutout. |
