Default RE: G&L Hobbies 1/5 Super Chipmunk Build (short kit)

Thanks,
I am going lo-fi on the paint job. I am using rust-olium spray can, I will wet sand with 1200 and I have an airbrush artist doing some work on the plane. I will clear coat the plane when she is done, then buff and palish it.
I am single and live alone so I spend two hours in the morning before work and a few hours when get home. If I get rained out I work all day on her and maybe a weekend if I can't fly.
I can see how it takes a year or so for some to build, I average two to three months. Estimated completion is late March!
