Finishing Yellow Aircraft CF-18... 2014 Demo

[tbrum]

All the rivets are done, all parts primed and sanded silky smooth

Parts painting tomorrow

Oh ya... check out the kitchen full of F18 parts My wife would have a cow if she saw this

Fuse is also stripped and sanded.

While I have my garage converted to a spray booth, tomorrow I will get all the big parts painted in the base colours!.

PPG base / clear will be used.

Looks like you'll be a busy painter tomorrow onward.

All but 3 parts are painted in base grey. Three parts in blue.

Enough for today. Heading to dinner with Jack and Brent. Pics tonight.

Hey Trevor,

Can't wait until you've got your CF-18's ready to go.......when do you think the maiden flight will be (unemployment means plenty of free time for 'road trips' up to Canada you know '-) )

[tbrum]

Hey Bill! I hope to have mine flying by Wingham Jet Rally in July . I hope to have Peter's CF-18 done and back to him for paint by late June!!

[tbrum]

A few pictures or mine in the base grey and a few parts done in the blue. I will let the paint cure for a couple days and will then paint the backbone of the fuse in the faded blue.

I can now put on all the water transfers on the grey and finish the fuel tanks and armament

Lookin sweet!

Where'd all the rivets go!?

[tbrum]

Thx! They are there! With the panel lines. Pics just don't show it. Once cleared I will dirty it up a bit and the rivets will pop again
