hi...

I still have trouble getting pics uploaded at work, but progress on the Cessna is going in the forward direction...

I have fibre-glassed everything, sanded down the fibre and resin (mine came out a little uneven).
I had glued the front and rear windows in before fibre glassing, and it was a mistake. I taped close the parts of windows that needed to stay clear
and to only fibre the windows around the edges. The Resin seeped underneeth the tape in certain places and ruined both windows.
I had to cut them out, and order replacement windows from Tower-Hobbies... but it gives the windows a nice frame that will look scale when finished...
I sprayed primer on everything and is now busy with filler and sanding.
The control surfaces are almost done. Maybe little bit more filler and final sanding, then final primer.
When the control surfaces are done, I will start with the wings.

As soon as I can find a salution to uplaoding pics, I will have alot to show...

Thanks
Etienne
