The cockpit. Please excuse the mess, but the cleaning lady won't be in till Mon.


This is the first time to use a panel decal. I should have done it myself.


The Spitfire spinner mashed with half of a Hornet burner can.

Looks authentic to me, Eddie Sir !!!!  Dig it.

Also, if anyone's wondering about the name, I used "Bloodly" because of it's uniquely British connotation and from the name Whistling Death. (You must think in the Queen's English) As in "The last thing he saw was Bloody Death!"

Not after what just happened. During the wet sanding, water got in the pit and now the canopy "glass" is fogged. I don't know if it's the Future or the glue I used to attach the canopy. I'm waiting to see if it clears. If not by night time, it comes off and rehab starts.

future will fog when it gets too moist...it should clear up, I'd leave it overnight.

Too late, they are off and in window cleaner. That is what one uses to get Future off, right ( crosses fingers)

If its ammonium based, yes.

Yes it was and it worked. Painting has started. While I wait, I tried a new trick. for the gaps in the spinner, I stuffed the cavity with tissue and added a couple of drops of CA with a kicker. It hardened into a sandible fiber that I covered with putty. Worked okay I guess.

all is well that ends well !
