just about have the detailing on the wing wrapped up.

pic 1: added the upper wing attachment bolt covers today as they are a fairly prominent feature on the upper wing. to make these i used evercoat polyester putty because the covers follow the curvature of the wing as it blends to the fuselage and that's easy to duplicate with putty. first thing is to mark out the position on the wing. then i put down some thin masking tape and retraced the outline onto the tape.

pic 2: then a dolop of putty. then nice thing about penning in the outline on the tape is that it transfers to the putty making sanding to the correct outline easier.

pic 3-4: two photos showing final sanded covers, the second photo showing how the putty follows the wing curvature exactly.

pic 5: and finally a bit of aluminum tape to simulate the flange of the cover and the cover ca'ed into place on the tape.

only two things remaining on the wing, 1) add round inspection covers which will have to wait for a bit until i can bring back my circular cuttter and 2) wingtip lights which has to wait for the led's. always something.
