    90% done, 50% to go.

    Got the wings installed today.
    Was very happy with the Stewarts System of covering.

    Very nice. Did you use the Stewart paints as well? If so, what color yellow did you use?

    I did use their paint, the paint and chips are still at the hangar. I'll find out.
    It's not a perfect match, the fuselage was done in Butyrate just prior to me getting it.
    It was the closest I could get with two different systems. Probably paint the fuselage sometime in the future.
