Short update

Getting closer and closer. However troubles are omnipresent...
The trolley used to transport the fuselage section has broken down, and we have to find other ways of transporting the airframe..


The broken part of the trailer is the unit supported by the red car-jack.

However, the color is getting there!

Stay tuned...

Paint&Chrome



OK, so not much chrome on a WWII fighter airplane... The airframe is now in the final stages of painting and finishing, finally. Securing support from the Norwegian Air Force has been an important step ahead. One of the airbase´s painting facilities have some vacant slots, and we have been able to fit into the paintshop to get the aircraft done.
Still only doing degreasing and base coats, but soon arriving at the ever-exciting top coat, the stage when everything comes to life.
