Last of the fiddly bits and landing gears done. Letting it dry overnight before a final clearcoat to seal in the decals.

Was going to spray semi-gloss clearcoat on this bird last night. Couldn’t because I somehow lost the damn nut for the Paasche airbrush…. AGAIN! :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang:

Tried finding it this morning and not having any success. May have to order a pak of 6 I found on Amazon. Either way, the Worimi Hornet will be the last build of 2025 especially with the holidays and shopping season underway.

I know my build count of 2025 is less than my last year’s build count of 2024.

Placed an order on Amazon for a 6 count airbrush nut for my Paasche H airbrush. Found a small machine screw as a light substitute nut for now so I can get on with spraying a clearcoat on this bird.

It’s done. Waiting on replacement nut for my airbrush so I can apply the semi gloss clearcoat. Hopefully, it’ll arrive Monday.
