To me making the engines was fun. This work is a pain in the ass.

Progress 8hrs worth for the two sheets on the wings and the decal. Covering with corrugated styrene is not a JOY!

The decals worked but they DO NOT like a corrugated surface!

As your talented eyes can see, the sheet will conform to the leading edge. There must be a seam , however. Methinks just under the edge.

IT WORKS!! Holding the styrene sheets in boiling water, they conform to the bend you desire. They cool quickly and retain the shape.

My plan to purchase a new plan has not followed my plane. The seller has not contacted me about the P-63 or the B-24. I ordered this plan tonight from Clevand Air. Polikarpov Rata 1/8 scale 44 in span

The pegged wings will be yellow. When you purchased a Goose, Ford shipped it to you in boxes and you had to assemble it.

Well the wings have wooden tips and mounting pegs. I am waiting for the corrugated sheeting, on order. The tips may not get corrugating as I do not think I can form the sheets to fit.

With two planes completed and the Goose almost ready. I had to hang the Spirit until she and the Barrel can be shipped to my cabin.
