Plane Project

Washed, etched, alodined, and primed the HS parts today. Here’s what alodined parts look like

and the spars

And here they are primed. Ah, that military green look

I fought with the HS tip ribs for several hours and after a couple emails to Van’s determined that I was the proud owner of three vertical stabilizer tip ribs!  Ken said they had accidentally  sent out some mislabeled ribs and sent me a couple replacements.  What a great guy!  Ask, and ye shall receive!

They came in today, so I could finally get back into action.  I didn’t take a picture, but Mr. Kim said he approved.
