One more day of treatment should have the new "Wings of Steel" as smooth as a baby's behind. |

Well the hat had at least one more bunny in it. The wings seem true, the hole I "built" is patched, and tomorrow I can spend time sanding and shaping. The Rat is on an old kitchen table. |

I have pulled some rabbits out of the hat this past year. I have a bad feeling that I have ran out of rabbits.The measuring stick says it is OK and so does me eyeballs...But! I have already punched a hole thru the lower right wing...now it will need men |

Today's easy fun work. Two MGS and two cooling vents. With the nose gun, that makes three. She gets a cannon in each wing. This old bird packed a lot of hurt. |
