So, after a night off for a soiree with the "wee kitchen" (old fashioned Irish term of endearment for one's wife), I got back to the job at hand.

Although I started a little late (and am also working a little too late into the night), I managed to get the stab & elevators a little further than the state of the wing - the latter has ailerons that remain to be covered.

It actually took me 4 hours to measure, re-measure, cut, and apply all 24 pieces of covering to the stab & elevators. And there are 8 pieces still left to do (I wish I had those colours but, alas, I don't yet)! That brings the simple trim scheme on the horizontal empennage to a total of 32 pieces of covering [:-]. The wing, since it doesn't need separate pieces on each side of the rudder as the stab does has a piece count of 2 less - 30 pieces.

Hopefully I'll manage to keep the fuse piece cut down a tad! Here are some update pics.

P.S. Weird, the photos "bubbled" on upload. The covering doesn't look all bubbly as seen in these pictures. I've seen this happen before on other threads though - it's probably jpg compression which is worse on rich saturated colours (e.g., red).
