Default RE: TOM BRETT'S DESIGNS-UPDATE

Now here's a few after pics. It's glassed with 3/4 oz. cloth and WBPU, so far it has picked up very little weight. The wing is ready for clearcoat and the fuselage is ready for the trim scheme. All of the control surfaces will be dark blue on the underside as will the stab. As you can see, the bottom of the right elevator is already dark blue and the top of the left elevator is light blue. The ailerons are ready for the same treatment. So far I'm please with the transformation, it's starting to look like a Perigee! The paint isn't perfect, but then I do want it to look a little aged. If all goes well, it'll be ready to fly in 2 or 3 weeks. At least that's the goal so I can fly it at the Octoberfest. I'll post more pics when it's completed.
