Ok so that means Rusty wants to see photos....Ok I have some intermediate photos......

Here it is.


When I get it done....I''ll post the details. Right now I''m trying to get it finished.

Here are some teasers...

I have not taken photos since I glassed and started the primer fill stage. However this thing look sweet as far as a repair. A couple little spot to cosmeticallly fix and then its ready for the colors and the paint masking. All the graphics on these models are paint masked on with shading and so on. I have all the paints matched up and the original files to produce the same paint masks.

I repaired my Adventure Bipe last year from some damage about a month before the NATS and the guys at the NATS that saw it thought I had a new model. That repair was a quickie...This one has been weeks of work to prep and prepare for the colors. It will look as good as new.

of note in the photos there is a Cross Brace structure that was used to keep the model dead nuts straight when repairing it. It was removed before the belly was installed. Once the new belly was installed and supports from the old to the new formers were put into place everything is rock solid. Dead staright and only gained about 1.5-2oz over the original weight. This thing is really strong now. Probably over built. I just wanted to make sure it was as solid as before.

With a dry weight of under 10lbs went it was new its not big deal to gain 2-3 ozs on the repair work
