Looking super. knox
Thanks
Its been a bit since I worked on this big bird . Work was super busy , slowing down a tad .
I started on the tail gate …
The tail gate when I glue that down , Will it went south in a bad way . No photo . The super glue stuck instant . I had the photo etch in the wrong direction … So I peeled it off . The photo etch wrinkled A tad . I did get it glues down . There is rough areas. I’m going make this tail gate looked good and used …
Enjoy

Here is my paint rack I’m building …I could not find any paint racks. So I thought , lets build one .
This is a basic rack . I will primer , then paint with enamel black
You can see my two Alclad bottles . That be the pale gold and chrome …
Rick
I finished my paint rack yesterday … I’m going let paint cure for few days before installing this to the wall …
I use oil base enamel paint , Sprayed this outside with HVLP gun …
I used scrap wood , only the peg board was new
Below is my tailgate that I mess up . I glued photo etch upside down .I removed the photo etch , the part wrinkled . I did not have another replacement part . I glued it back down in the correct direction .
Now I went and built a skid that will hold cases of sodas and water bottles . This will sit on the gate .
Skid not finished yet .
Enjoy

I have been working on the soda cases off and on today , Only have a lot more to do

Oh wow, infofrog! An artist and a craftsman all in one. Your build and skills are absolutely amazing and out of this world.

thank you all …
I mocked up my exhaust too see what it look like … Not bad …
If you look one way it looks more gold , different way more jet exhaust or more black . Sure has a candy paint look …
I got couple things to do . Then glue this one exhaust into place . Then glue the fuselage together
Enjoy
