Started the painting process, first sanded the entire fuselage, then added filler, looks like a lot but almost all of it will be sanded away.

Thanks Isaac! here is what I do.
First I make a scale drawing of what I want.
Then using as many reference as I can, for example the position of each line in reference to a fixed point in the fuse (wings, spinner, stab) an start drawing with a fine pencil, its a looong process, but rewarding at the end. for the curve lines I make templates to duplicate them on both sides and also use general templates that can be used in more than one curve. There is a lot of trial and error in the process and I end up drawing and erasing lines a lot of times.
for masking the curve lines I use this: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXK251&P=7
hope this helps

Tuny,
Your completed model looks fantastic. Could you describe the radio setup you have? I presume you have extra redundancy with the two receivers? Also, what servos have you used throughout the model?

Hello Vince! Thanks!! Feliz navidad!, About the trimming Just 7 flights so far, flies realy good, super stable, very little mixing, I will give a more detailed report after I finish the trimming an setting process.
Thanks Wild Beat!
these are the servos I´m using.
eleveators and ailerons, Futaba BLS 153
Rudder, Futaba 9156
Throtle, Futaba 3155
The dual receivers give redundancy in elev and ailerons, on the rest of the chanels is not possible, I did it mainly because I needed 10 chanels and each receiver has max 8 without S bus, so I Devided this, receiver A gets chanels 1-8, receiver B gets 9-16 each with a separate battery.
