Wingtip update. Turns out the high heat method followed by mini iron circles is the absolute worst for removing the film if need be. . . I spent HOURS removing the covering in preparation for paint. Ended up with four light coats of paint.
I may clear coat it in a week.

Been getting some more tinker time on this bird. Worked on the aileron horns. There was a discrepancy in the plans for too small aileron horn blocks. So if your going to use the supplied horns - be smarter than me and make sure the blocks are big enough for them.

Decided to make some horns from G10 board and utilize a ball link. Masked and painted to match.

Marked the location to drill within the block.

My decal dilemma was solved by inquiring a quote from Callie Graphics. Guess what showed up!

Callie Graphics nailed it! Super impressed. I asked for two logos and two pairs of separate N#’s; gave them some size restrictions, scale pics, and the model scale.

I take pride in using my A&P license during this process.
