The airframe is covered in tex so time to do some panel lines on the fuzz. I have drawn the panels and then cut some solar tex and over lap to simulate the panels so when the paint is on they will show through

Jon,the rivet heads are 2mm half round resin beads stuck on individualy with minute blobs of pva.For the panel lines it's 1mm tape which will show through the pain't finish.

Thanks Dante,I was a bit tired when I went too bed last night after 12 hours of glueing the rivet heads on.I hope to get the primer on tomorrow and then fit her out with radio etc.It is my intention to get the hurricane up the field for Jon to inspect and hopefully give me the ok and I will test fly whilst it is still in primer.

Pete
