Dang! I swear there's enough scrap to make another plane!
![Album image #14 Album image #14](/albums/img/9/1/9/290919-26748-20-720.jpg)
1st issue, something is warped somewhere. I glued up all the rest and let it dry overnight.....
![Album image #15 Album image #15](/albums/img/9/2/0/290920-26748-59-720.jpg)
...then used these giant STRONG clamps!
![Album image #16 Album image #16](/albums/img/9/2/1/290921-26748-95-720.jpg)
2nd issue...pretty poor alignment there, not much I can do to fix that
![Album image #17 Album image #17](/albums/img/9/2/2/290922-26748-79-720.jpg)
the rest was fine. If I was a true "modeler" I could have scratch built a repair....
![Album image #18 Album image #18](/albums/img/9/2/3/290923-26748-70-720.jpg)
the other wing was fine
![Album image #19 Album image #19](/albums/img/9/2/4/290924-26748-38-720.jpg)
pretty weak detailed engines!
![Album image #20 Album image #20](/albums/img/9/2/5/290925-26748-23-720.jpg)
I need to mix some "chromate green"
![Album image #21 Album image #21](/albums/img/9/2/6/290926-26748-70-720.jpg)
the small spot on the top right, is what i want to match. that's vallejo"s zinc chromate, the lower left spot is pretty close, just a bit lighter. the middle row are colors i'm working with
![Album image #22 Album image #22](/albums/img/9/2/7/290927-26748-24-720.jpg)
the recipe i found on the net somewhere
![Album image #23 Album image #23](/albums/img/9/2/8/290928-26748-79-720.jpg)
I'll be happy with that!....
![Album image #24 Album image #24](/albums/img/9/2/9/290929-26748-90-720.jpg)

![Album image #25 Album image #25](/albums/img/9/3/1/290931-26748-21-720.jpg)
had trouble with the clamps slipping off the wings....
![Album image #26 Album image #26](/albums/img/9/3/2/290932-26748-90-720.jpg)
