Still slugging my way though the fuselage covering. All the work has been more sporadic than I would have liked.
The current state of the fuselage is that all the patches are on and I’m maybe halfway through the tapes.
Nothing too remarkable to report for this, so if there are any questions or suggestions, bring them up.
On another note, I received my first batch of painting supplies from Stewart Systems. I’m going to try and attempt a RANS scheme that was on the first SLSA. I;m going to replace the orange with Stewart’s Firethorn Red.
I’m also still learning the best way to put on patches and tapes with the glue. My technique has improved a lot and I think I may be able to go back with some diluted glue and soak it into the spots that aren’t a consistent color.

The fuse tapes take a long time don’t they….
Bet you are getting excited to see some color on this beauty – I know I am!
Enjoy your updates.
