Between assembling a few ARGs, I've been working on the Great Lakes Bipe.

I started to cover her in Monokote, but I suck at it. The covering has been removed, and the airframe has been covered in Solartex Dark Blue, and 21st Century Fabric Cub Yellow.

Doing this deviates from my original "Keep iy as light as possible" plan, but I had the covering on hand, and I want to keep costs to a minimum.

Roundels are on order from Gary at Decal-it. http://www.decal-it.com/ The rest of the markings are from a Pica FW 190D decal sheet.

I need to mount the Saito 50, and re-check the balance. A coat of clear is needed for the Solartex, too.
