| The fuselage formers got a similar treatment. I cut the keels in half and thinned out all the empennage pieces as well. |

| Nice and straight for a change. I need to add red tissue to the top rear of the fuselage and the tips of the stabilizer - and a tailwheel of course. I also need to paint the inside of the red marking on the tail white. |

| I spent the better part of an hour trying to find pictures on the internet of C170s painted in what I have come to call "The Guillows Paint Scheme". Believe it or not, I found a few. From viewing the pics, I realized that it is a two color scheme and the rest of the aircraft was polished aluminum. Since polished aluminum is the bare material the plane is made of, I decided it would be appropriate to leave these unpainted areas bare silkspan. |

| This kit is the second balsa model I ever built. The first was a Sterling peanut scale Fokker D.VIII that my father had started. I have always loved this kit and this plane. |
