Accidents happen, my friend @michaelt. Looks like not too much harm is done, I believe you will be ok for Sunday.

Looks awesome already, my friend @michaelt!

Ah, don’t speak too soon, John (@johnb). 😊
While the damage is somewhat superficial, I need to sand it back (nearly done) and repaint to match the rest of the aircraft, including my haphazard mix to lighten the sea blue overspray.
Luckily the rest of the aircraft was out of the pool of glue.

Done with 19 hours to spare.

G’day John (@johnb),
Yes, I managed to recover ok.
Not perfect, but good enough.

We had the competition judging today.
Six of the nine entrants were completed on time and the result of the group judging was:

1 - F-111C

2 - RF-4E

3 - TBF-1C

A prize well deserved, my friend @michaelt! I agree with our friend @johnb, all are winners!
