Painted the instrument cover and the back wall. Should be closing the canopy on this one soon as well.

Thanks Jim. Yeah it's getting close. Still gotta take care of the gaps at the wing to fuselage join.

Way to hang with this one! Looking pretty darn good.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

So after a long time of test fitting, I decided that the tabs on the canopy were fowling the fit. I cut them off and the canopy fit the way it supposed to. I'll have to fill in the gaps where the tabs were supposed to go but I'd rather have it fit right.

Got the canopy on this weekend and started to fix the gaps on the wing joins. Didn't have any milliput so I just used putty.
