Top Row
Photo #1,2,3 -Most of the basic painting on the fuselage is now done.  Came out pretty good.
Photo #4,5 -My attempt at lettering.  I first printed out the lettering on my computer, stuck that to sticky shelf paper, cut out the letters and applied them to the fuselage, then painted red over them.  Then removed them.  Came out pretty good but had to tidy up the edges with my xacto knife as they were a little ragged.

Bottom Row
Photo #1 -Left side is now finished.  It was all hand done using a DecoColor (tm) paint pen. Later found out it was ink rather than paint so had to go over all of it with paint.
Photo #2 -Had to try shadowing of the N number.  Worked out OK if you don't look real close.
Photo #3 -The wheel pants make this airplane, so had to attach them, although will leave them off for the test flights.
Photo #4 -Time to start putting it back together and see what it looks like.  Hoping for an August/Sept (05) test flight.
Photo #5 -Engine mounted but not hooked up.
