Time for an update, still sanding and painting but ive finished the wings and half way through painting the fuse which is the last of the fabric to be painted, all I can say is im glad its not a bi-plane!
Also started working with the local motor trimmer on the interior. I had some trouble with the glare shield taking the right shape so ive ended up re glassing most of it and putting a foam core in it to keep its shape.

Blimey, you're cooking up a storm here Ben !. Red shades, silver overalls and big black shoes. Nice.

Thanks everyone for the kind words and motivation!
Over the last week I have applied the poly-spray coats with wet sanding in between and then one coat of white.
Today I painted the tubes in the cockpit area silver and tomorrow I will prep the rest of the fuse ready for top coat silver then its back to work for 7 days...

Oh Man! is that masking tape all over the tubing? I hate that job. Taking it off is no fun either. Must have taken a fair amount of time. Looking great though.
