And now I have a complete airframe. I’m going to let the joins cure for a few days and get back to the A2N3 in the meantime.

Nice to see the progress here, and really looking forward to the finished plane. I only just realised there are large windows in the sides for the navigator - that will give a lot of light to the interior I guess. Great!

Quick build John, and she's looking good. And what he hay on the interior, you know its there and you had fun doing it.

Masked and main color painted. Tamiya AS-12 straight from the can. I’ve been using this color for aluminum paint lately. After the clear coats, it looks like silver lacquer, which it is! The Dead Design masks are really nice and fit perfectly.

Silver is looking great, John!
Erik Gjørup said 4 years ago:

@j-healy that lacquer is very nice indeed. The spray-cans are somewhat underrated I think - for a use like this they are great. Looking better and better with each post.
John Healy said 4 years ago:

I finished the engine and painted the internal anti-glare panels today. This will go fast now. Next step will be to mask and install the canopy, then spray some blue paint.

@j-healy, it looks really nice already - the silverdope just looks like the real stuff! (I have been silverdoping a few real planes in my time, and either the dope has done my memory no good, or your dope is spot-on! I shall opt for the last option)

Looking amazing already, John!

I hope to get the blue trim sprayed on tommorow.
