And the paint goes on

The painter has posted some more pictures of the progress on the plane.  It's a bit of a tease because the real pazzaz shows up after the clear coat goes on.  In any case here are some progress pictures.  If you are not interested in airplane pictures, this will probably bore you.

This is a wing tip.  You can see that there are actually three colors; Pearl White, red and gold.

These are the wings.

This is the starboard (right) side of the fuselage looking aft.













This is the lower half of the cowl and it is upside down.  The next thing is the clear coat which I'm told really makes the colors "pop".  Then a few days to let it all cure before we load it up and drag it all home for final assembly.

It might help to understand the plan.  Below is what we want it to look like when it's done.  If you click on the image it should show you the full size picture.

The company that is painting the plane had done a lot of interesting work with motorcycle painting.  Here is their website  http://www.cuttingedgeillusions.com  We have also seen some of the other planes they have painted.  We were impressed with their creativity and the attention to detail.  We are very excited and anxious to see the finished product.
