Comments

I split the stabilators and left them off until late in the game to avoid having a masked footprint on the aft fuse when I painted it. After painting the fuse and the stabilator separately, I permanently attached each stabilator in place.

I tried using Future for the first time as a clear coat. This experiment set me back two weeks (strip and repaint) and cost me a set of decals after it crazed severely. I won't repeat that mistake.

This was a fun project and I love the size and "brutish" appearance of the final product.
