There must come a point when it will become a folly to try and fly it.

Amazing work though Phil, even though it belongs in a glass case

Finished with the final clear coat........as per the spats etc.....full gloss on the 'metal' cowl & forward fuselage with a satin on all fabric covered sections to give a degree of contrast between the smooth metal surfaces & the slight texture of the fabric.
