Three wings done, one to go. Cowl painted, dummy engine on, just have to open it up for the engine. Since I am using the same engine that is on my other Cub I can copy it exactly. Hopefully another full day of work on it and it will be ready to fly. Experimenting with LustreKote on the cowl, and strut. Will see how dope reacts to it, can always sand off the lustrekote on the strut if needed. The color isn't an exact match to the dope, so the cowl is a bit lighter in color.

So two or three more clear coats, then a couple white coats, and a few color coats and the lower wing is done, then I can assemble them and balance it.
