Well yes, now that you mentioned it, there was a little PSR here and there !  :blink:

























Well that's the boring building stuff out of the way - next, playing with paint   :wacko:

Rafale is  :ph34r:.  Always liked the way the front fuselage blends with the intakes.  'Urry up, get paint on! :party:
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

Well after two weeks at work with only two 36 hour breaks between back-to-back shifts, forllowed by a fantastic Bank Holiday and a not-so-fantastic bout of fodd poisoning (Don't EVER eat out-of-date Doritos), I'm back at-it. The Rafale is, as this is written, sitting in the paint shed, awaiting it's next fate. Pics later today or more probably tomorrow.

Hmmmm, is this an attempt to recreate the primer seen on German Eurofighters when they first fly?

OK I'm back - returning fresh-faced from our week in the Twilight Zone/Briar Patch/Middle Earth/Tractor Central (delete as appropriate), the Hunter-Gatherer tribe returned to Schloss Jackson yesterday, I'm working today, but luckily tomorrow (Monday), I'm on change-over to nights, so that means that I'll be able to mask and spray the next camouflage colour in the morning. All should be a lot clearer then  :wacko: - Nev knows what I'm planning, but he's been sworn to secrecy  :mellow: - (Nev, great to meet-up with you and the family on Wednesday, hopefully I'll be able to get to Newark with you next month) - Probably wont be able to get any photos up until the end of the week.

Thanks for all the interest so far, AFN.
