Another HUGE work weekend! As of Today, the fuselage is nearly 100% stripped.

More or less, the only paint that remains on the fuselage is that just under the horizontal stabilizers just aft of the tail wheel and some paint that remains on and around some rivets. We will be doing another application over the entire fuselage to remove any remaining residual primmer or any paint that remains on the on the rivets heads just to make sure.

We also stripped the entire belly of the fuselage as well as the underside of the wings from the outside edge of the inboard flap on the right wing to about half way out the aileron on the left wing. Also stripped was the inside of both nacelles.

So the left wing is about 50% stripped. Again, we will apply a second application once the entire wing has received its first application.

And for the pictures... I almost just want to say at this point lets just polish her lol.
