Flight Metal 99% Done!!

Flight metal applied finally. I started in October and last weekend I completed the application of the flight metal except for a small piece around the canopy. I am going to cut the canopy to make it open as per the

real plane so I will complete the flight metal after. I still have weathering and nomenclature to do. I have one of the wings on just to show it more like a plane but the wing needs to be painted yet. Also have paint masks to put on the wings and fuse to put on the roundel and the main lettering. Sorry for the messy shop!

It is hard to take a good picture of an 11 foot lawn dart with an iPhone. What do you think?

If you recall earlier I had mentioned not liking the way the cones looked with the rivets instead of proper bolts. I have completed putting in the 70 or so screws to simulate the bolts into each of the cones.
