| All of the "metal" structures primed and sanded to 600 grit W&D. Now to add the little details like rivets (from MicroMark after seeing how they looked on Sky's SE5A) and a few things like louvers and hand-holds. |

| I can't belive that I found a picture of the original Alaskan Survey emblem! Now I have to figure out how to manipulate it in "Paint" to make the background white. |

| I tend to get into a OCD mode when reasearching a plane. It always seems that you find the perfect detail shot AFTER you need it. Last Sunday I finally happened to find a good picture of the float that showed that I had the wheel wells in the wrong shape. A little styrene and body putty filled in the erroneous shape so now I can move on. |

| Finished adding some details to the hull. Movie line from someone comes to mind: "A man's got ta know his limitations". Laid on the first coat of Liquatex primer. I am impressed with the way that the Liquatex goes on and covers; Thanks for the recommendation DD. |
