It's looking really good. Like the others, I like how you set of the other colors with the white base coat. Looks really sharp! Even at 4m! LOL! Good luck with the rest of the paint job.

Re: Oz build SS7
I wish I had thought about it earlier. My wife left mid afternoon for San Francisco to board a working flight to Sydney. I thought of going out and getting some tape and having her take it and mail it from there. I didn't have your address.
She used to fly to Sydney a lot but not so much recently. She has submitted the paperwork for retirement and now is working down a bucket list of her favorite destinations. I think Sydney is very close to the top.
I have no idea why she is looking out there.

Re: Oz build SS7
Thanks for the comments KF - more pics below as I unveiled the fuselage!
Lowell, I think your wife has fine taste! Sydney (where I was born and raised) is a great and beautiful city - is that your wife in the photo looking throught he telescope? if you mean you dont know what she was looking at it would be acroos the harbour to Kirribilli House - our Prime Ministers Sydney Residence. Anyway, thanks for the thought re the tape but I am sure we can find some here. I am happy with the result on the fuselage I got today - albeit a straight run. Tomorrow will see the black strip!
cheers

Re: Oz build SS7
Yes, That is her. She took me along a couple of times to pet the Koalas at Featherdale and get some fish and chips. While strolling the waterfront we stopped and listened to some Christmas music.
Re: Oz build SS7
Up early this morning to beat the heat and got the fuselage finished - well apart from the touch-up bits I need to do from a few little carless over sprays!

Re: Oz build SS7
Hell if your are taking photos from only 4 feet away that's a great paint job. My paint job would look good if I stood about 25 feet away.

Looks great, I also would not take photos of my paint job that close up
Really nice work!

Yeah, I know Dorsal - we all just want it to turn out like we have been painting planes professionally for 20 years I guess! A little unrealistic!
By the way, how has your nose healed up - I hope no lasting problems?
