I covered the top of the fuselage before attaching the tail surfaces using my favorite method of Sig Koverall sealed with Minwax Polycrylic. I also had to make the little fairing that goes at the front of the stab under the fin.

OK, in the last shot I see a beautiful work bench, a nice cabinet, a band saw, a rack for paints, and...a bomb?
Lovely build, btw. Just wondering about the lower left corner.

I have a very similar practice bomb I bought in a surplus store north of Salt Lake City when I was a young kid.... We actually hauled it home tied to the luggage rack of our station wagon ! hahahahah

I'm finishing up the wings on the SPAD. The ailerons were cut out and finished with leading edges and sheeting to stiffen them up. I had to order more 3/32 balsa to finish applying the 10,000 cap strips!

Jim...........................
What are you doing over here?
Do you think you have some kind of "squatters rights"?
Does Steve what you are doing to his thread? LOL........
Man that Spad has a lot of balsa in it....man I hope that never meets up with a GTM D6...... It will rain confetti like the "Big Apple" does on New Years!
HPA
meantime your build is impressive

What are you up to? You've been awfully quiet lately ...something devious, I'm sure!

The cable & pulley systems worked out pretty well. I think the pulleys I got from a model sailboat company were just about the right size & I made my own aluminum brackets to mount them securely to the struts. I used two double-block pulley's for the elevators (one for each elevator half) & the singles for each side of the rudder pull-pull cables. I'll snap some pictures of the setup & post them later. I do still need to apply to the struts those water transfer decals that you sent me. That will dress them up nicely.
best regards,
Greg
