Daniel_B Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Wow, that's turning out great, Brett! And actually, the tailhook shouldn't have any stripes. They stopped with that sometime around the early-90s, I think. It should just be same overall color as the rest of the underside (light ghost gray). HTH Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And the info on the tailhook made it simple! I went cross eyed with masking it off before. Much easier round 2. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brett M Posted September 25, 2009 Author Share Posted September 25, 2009 (edited) Minor update. The canopy is done Turned out pretty well I think. What do you guys think? I finished up with fixing flaws on the windscreen this morning, so that's dipped and drying as well. The HUD was assembled as well, dipped and drying off too. Hopefully, those will be installed this weekend. Getting close!!! Edited September 25, 2009 by Brett M Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JMan Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 This is one sharp looking kitty! You have done a masterful job on it! Thanks for showing us! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brett M Posted September 27, 2009 Author Share Posted September 27, 2009 (edited) Windscreen and HUD are installed. Got the probes attached to the fuselage as well. Buuuut, of course I had one incident. Shot one probe out of the tweezers and into infinity. It's gone! So, I'll have to figure out what to do on that.
