OK. Here's an update. Things are going slowly at the moment. Don't have much time to spend building. I have the fuselage covered. That means the entire glider is covered now   :D . I also have the fin and rudder painted in the final color. See below,

 

Alan_Perse:
Hi All. Another update. I have the Fuselage painted now. Thats all I'm going to paint for the moment. I'll leave painting the wings until after the first few flights. Here are some pics. The paint job is not the best. You can't see it in the pic's but I was experimenting with different paints and there was some compatibility issues.
All thats left now is to finish of the canopy and attach it to the fuselage, balance the model and then get the electrics working right. I also have to have a look at one of the airbreaks. It seems to get stuck sometimes.

Can't see too much wrong with your paint job Alan.
Anyway once it's 500ft up or out, no one will know the difference!! :clap:  :clap:

Alan_Perse:
Thanks Bill. Now that I look at it more closely I guess it not too bad. It's a bit messy in some small areas but thats what you get when you do a rush job.
Just a tip for anyone else who needs to do some painting, Halfords car spray paints and Dulux high gloss don't go well together.
