Margaret June gets a makeover
bill bischoff:
This is the original Margaret June Sportsman Goodyear from the construction article in Model Aviation. She suffered a bit of damage last October, and generally needed to be freshened up. I went in a completely different direction, but actually retained the fuselage trim lines. Pic's show before and after. The color scheme is based on the iconic Gulf Oil Co. Lemans racing cars of the 1970's.
Kelly Hite:
Very nicely done sir H^^
George Grossardt:
Love the new version.
Dave Hull:
Tell us about the spin-er-age (spinach?) on the nose. Whuzzat?
Allus love them baby blue schemes. I got that on my Clownages. Goes good with either red or orange.... Nice.

I'm not sure of the origins of that particular spinner. I had it in a box of parts for years. It's possibly a Picco or OPS. The Supertigre "B" spinner is very similar. It is 1 1/4" diameter, slightly bigger than the G-15 spinner. The backplate fits the same tapered cone as the ASP 15. I bought several from Mike Hazel's "garage sale". The stock nose nut is 1/4-28, so I had John McCollum make 7075 aluminum replacements with 5mm threads.
