Update

Not very exciting to look at, but I got the wheel strut covers & elevators covered last night. (Still need to pinstripe the trailing edge of the elevators).



Probably do the ailerons & start on the wing tonight.

Covering the fin

Another two & a half hours last night & the fin is now covered too!

Shame about the obvious mistake with matching the chequers between the rudder & the fin, but I was finished when I realised & there was no way I was going to rip everything off the fin & start again!

Just to clarify, every blue chequer is hand cut & placed on top of a solid white background after first ruling guide lines with a felt pen. The pen marks are then removed using metho after everything is finished. (Thanks to Greg W for the tips on how to do this)!

Oh well, fortunately that's the last of the chequers anyway!

Finally some progress!

After making the decision to stop working on everything but the Pete 'n Poke, I finally finished covering the rudder & I'm ready to keep going & to finish this baby!

It took about three hours but have a look at my chequer work!




Hopefully some more covering tomorrow night!
