| Outside surrounded by large cardboard boxes from Amazon which contained large canvases.....The entire structure has several coats of nitrate dope on it and is quite smooth enough but I want this one covered. Dip the silkspan in the water, lay it on the towel, wipe it slightly to remove excess water, lay it down, smooth it out, and paint dope all over it. Absolutely guaranteed not to deform the wood! :-) |

| After some springtime chores, I got back to the cockpit detailing. The instruments have been reduced using Paint (a tedious trial and error process) and teh bezels were fabricated out of styrene. |
