Default RE: GM Precision Sunbird

Well I finished covering this morning. I still need to paint the engine compartment and the cockpit and do the final trimming on the canopy, but its getting there! I altered my color sceme slightly so that I would be overlapping the white over the yellow rather that the other way around. I was going to cover the entire fuse with yellow then add some white stripes but as I said in my last post, I didn't like the way the grain was showing through the Ultacoat, so I decided to make the top of the fuse white. I kinda like the way it came out. I have a polished aluminum spinner for her that should look *****en against the white. I just mocked up for a couple pics, the tail isn't glued up yet and the wheel pants aren't the ones I'm going to use. Last time I built a Sunbird, I built up a set of pants from balsa and covered them with monokote, I don't think I'm going to do that again! Way to much sanding and covering was a pain in the #!@*!! I will probably order up a set of fiberglass ones and paint them white.
