Just a quick update here.......

A couple of hard working volunteers got the bombardier's section prepped for paint over the last couple of days, so that's what I tackled this morning. The three pictures are just the stages of completion, starting with the initial prep, followed by the primer, then finally with the finished paint. I'll obviously post more pictures as this section gets closer to finishing.........

That interior stuff is quite difficult to paint. Just when you think you've covered everything, you shine the light on something you've missed. When you get that, you see yet another spot. I think I finally got it all.
