Another progress update.
I have mostly everything colored. Have the tail fins, 70% of the fuselage, and wings with detail. Insignias are in place, including noseart.
Not done yet is weathering, the other 30% of the fuselage detail, the tail itself detail.

I know it says Wa-Pel-La, but I found 3 other webpages with a black and white print of this calling it Chief Wapello (I wish I could remember the links.
Anyway, here's my progress shots so far. As always, recommendations/suggestions are welcome.
