Tedious but once I got the system figured out, it didn't take all that long.

Well, after about 9600 "stiches" and over 200 surface tapes, (but who's counting), I believe that I can move on.

Biplane Guy, I 've been down the slope for decades (Used to be a plastic modeler). Example here ( a week of my life that I'll never get back) is of the rigging clevises for my Loening. Each clevis took 9 separate operations and three jigs to make. But it's FUN!!!

Boy, I am glad that the wings don't have any rivets! Used up 1 1/2 sheets of the Micromark rivets to get to this point. I thnik that it will take about another 30 inches of rivets to finish up.

Rivets under paint. I used the smallest rivets on the sheet so the bigger ones, that will be applied to the fuselage should look even better. When the silver paint dries (forever) I will try a wash of black water-based paint and dry-brush them to see how they "pop".

These are engine compartment vent louvers in the raw. Used some 1/8" dowel, planed it flat on two sides and drew them down. It's going to be a little bit fiddly to sand them out.

These are the MicoMark "O" scale rivets applied to a wing float. We will see what they look like under a coat of RustOleum silver enamel paint.

All of the "metal" structures primed and sanded to 600 grit W&D. Now to add the little details like rivets (from MicroMark after seeing how they looked on Sky's SE5A) and a few things like louvers and hand-holds.

These are the whells that I will be using. They even have the valve stems.
