Let's hope the pilot has a bit more confidence in his engine after adding some more stains.

@j-healy, thanks a lot, John.

@fiveten, thanks a lot, Spiros

Looking awesome, my friend @johnb! Yup, too cold to spray 🙁

Looks like a winner with those exhausts stains you added and the antenna is such a nice touch, John @johnb. You’re a clear coat away from the finish line!

Uschi and EZ Line both work superbly with just the tiniest drop of CA glue Don’t you think? . When I goof up the antenna and have to redo it, I just scrape the old glue off the edge of the mast vertically with a knife blade and start over. When putting the thread in a hole, I dunk the tip of the thread in ca glue using a tweezer and stick it in there while the glue is still wet ASAP before it sets, holding it in place and count to 20. Most of the time, there’s no noticeable mess. After it dries I put a extra tiny dab of glue where the thread meets the styrene topside. Use white glue for insulators. We need @lgardner to give us a lesson how he makes his antenna spring attachments.

@fiveten, thank you, Spiros. Since there is no forecast with higher temperatures, I might try to heat the garage a bit.

@clipper, thanks, Carl

@eb801, thanks a lot for sharing, Eric. In this case I used a toothpick to add a small drop of CA. This time it went quite well but I'm always afraid something irreversible might happen with that nasty glue.

@lgardner, thank you, Louis. Maybe I will add some more weathering on the upper surface.

This really looks good now @johnb. You've done great work here and have a model to be proud of.
