thanks Phil ! Soon i'll be 60 , and by the time this bird is finished , i will have spent 10 % of my free evenings on it ! Makes me think if it's all worth it... Anyways , this evening i sanded the whole fuselage so there's just the wings to go ! All the other parts are done. I hope to be ready for paint by next weekend but i'm golng to take the weekend off and visit PROWING in Soest , Germany to buy a second set of flight battery's and enjoy the show. It's allways worth it ! I'll be at one of the next PSS weekends too , really looking forward to that !!

Hello ! I'm in the middle of the sanding process and i must say , this is the part that i hate the most... For the first time in this build i need some motivation to go on . There is no ending in sight while others watch a movie or go out with friends and have fun...I'm sanding primer for days to come...

Hello all ! Primer is painted ! Just a few weeks sanding before she gets her camo jacket fitted !

One thing i learned over the years is that you can never have enough SPACE AND TIME ! I worked all my life to have my own shop , wich i build myself . It's 100 sq M , two stories high , very happy with it !

Hi guy's Long time no see ! Just wanted to let you know that the fouga is completely ready for primer ! I made myself a spray-booth and looking forward to use it for the first time ! See you soon !

First pull of the small part

Looks like a big canope !! You're going to need a very big frame-box and a big heater !

I use automotive products as i have a lot of leftovers I did use spray cans for little parts and it worked fine !

Yes , Danny always primer and paint ! It will stand the heat of the plastic , no worries!

@ Danny fenton In this case , i simply made a new part in the mould of the canope frame twice as thick. Usually i make a plug out of pink foam , covered with 500gr glass to get a smooth finish.

Plugs for the Windows painted and polissen, ready for vacuming !
