| All of the "metal" structures primed and sanded to 600 grit W&D. Now to add the little details like rivets (from MicroMark after seeing how they looked on Sky's SE5A) and a few things like louvers and hand-holds. |

| Rayl, thank you for that compliment!! Make sure to use Micro Set to help settle the decals. Be sure to order the "HO" size as they're the larger scale than "O." You'll get two sheets. They really work. If painted over, the carrier film should disappear. |

| Sky: are you sure about that? "HO" is about 1/87 scale while "O" scale is 1/48. |

| By the way, your Loening looks great! |

| My mistake. "O" it is. I still get mixed up between the two scales when it comes to trains. Sorry about that. On the note of rivets and DD's carrier films reference, these decals all come on one sheet (you still get two separate sheets). This means you can cut a long (or short) length strip of rivets to your choice of size to fit the job. One observation: Because they are thin strips, the decals can be finicky and will tend to fold over themselves if not handled carefully. Also, keep an eye on them after the application as sometimes they will winkle a bit during the drying process. The rewards are worth it. I used the "O" scale and so far, they worked for me. Thanks for clarifying that! |

| I did not know that "O" had a scale. I was worried it had something to do with me. I finally figured out that this has nothing to do with me. Now I feel better ! |

| Speaking of "O's", I never understood why rails have designated letters to denote the scale, plastic kits of tanks and figures are generally done in 1/35th, and the wooden kits are wide open and referred as a ratio such as 1/12th or something like that. |

| Speaking of "O's" again, welcome back John "O." |
