O.K. Sean, its been long enough, lets get her up and post some airborn pictures!!!!!
Yeah, well... it will almost certainly be ready this weekend, but we may not have enough hands due to the holiday, and the weather (except the 4th) may also be a problem. We also had a little setback yesterday: the paint on the door must've been contaminated, because it started to "crackle' in one spot after the 2nd coat... had to strip it and start over (today).
But the fabric-covered tail feathers are done, the metal stuff just needs one more light coat, the panel is about ready to go back in, and I'll be starting the nose art tonight.
