Thanks Charles

The Albatross factory is running around the clock now!

First Primer coat:

Although the pics make the fuselage look perfectly smooth, the first primer coat revealed all kinds of little holes and deep scratches that needed to be filled. The second image shows all the imperfections filled with acrylic putty. I will wet sand everything and then move on to rivet and groove work.




Detail parts:

I went ahead and made all the little super tiny parts that will make this plane look very realistic. From exhaust stacks to antennas of all sorts, I think I've covered most of the little details. I will make a mooring line that splits and goes around the radome as well. The second pic shows the heat forming of a wing tip light cover with left over yogurt lids. It worked very well.




I will post more updates as parts come flying off the assembly line this week -stef
