Vertigo II Build

<< < (35/39) > >>

Don Jenkins:
Here's a pic before wet sanding.  From a few feet away it looks pretty good, but up close it looks like the paint went over sand!

Don Jenkins:
After 3 hours of sanding, the wing panel is about half done and the sanded area is completely flat and free of most defects.  It should polish out well.

Don Jenkins:
I polished one elevator (on the right), it took about two hours.  It think it does does make a difference, and although labor intensive, well worth it once complete, if that ever happens!

Don Jenkins:
Yes, I am still wet sanding, but now I'm about 95% complete with just a bit more on the fuselage and fin/rudder.  However, I did start polishing the other day after getting bored with sanding and got the outboard wing done.  If life stops getting in the way, I might finish this plane in a few weeks!

Kermit Payne:
We'll need sunglasses to keep the glare down around this one!!!  Mighty fine work there, Don.  She's a beaut!
