It’s finally done! The dullcote saved the rough spot that looked so not good in gloss and things really came together. It’s a joy to pull off that masking at the end that’s been on so long and see that the pilot is in there and things stayed where they should.

Also great fun to add those last breakable bits I left off during painting like pitot tubes and antennae. I really like the super tiny radio antenna I added from very thin nylon thread.

What a fun build that was full of learning new things!
