Hey guys, sorry for more delay but caught influenza and been down for several days with high fever....and weather still really cold. But looks like things are improving on all fronts later in the week and I can get the engine test done and finally installed back in the plane. Here's a few pic of more detailing I'm doing. Again, not exactly like the full scale was, but gave more definition to the Canopy. CARF had no scale canopy defined so I had to create a few more rivets to outline where the full scale was. I just pushed a piece of small brass tubing over my old soldering iron. The one nice thing nice about a composite fuse, it is easy to melt in rivets. once you burn them in, I just sanded with a 1000 grit just to take off the the edges. primed and painted with Aircraft aluminium.



added brass tip to solder iron.
