    Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% PA-28 Cherokee Build

    Looking at the graphics today and found this photo on Airliners.net. Red scheme just like the light blue. Pretty sure I'm going with missile red trim.

    Welcome aboard Appowner. What parts are you looking for? The fiberglass part or windows or both? The fiberglass part is far from perfect and it will take a few prime and sand sessions. You can see in the photo the shinny and darker spots are low, I quickly block sanded to see just how it...

    Made a dash and covered it with vinyl fabric from Jo Ann fabrics, used 3m Super 77 contact cement to attach to the balsa dash. This will be glued it after the windows are installed. The vinyl is folded over on itself to form the lip and give a finished appearance.

    Nice day in the burgh, working outside. Laid up the first side of fairing mold and removed the parting board, waiting for the PVA to dry to finish. Began finishing the side window plugs, put on several coats of shellac as a base. Really soaks in, continue to apply until it quit soaking in...

    The dash arrived today, looks good. I decided to go with a black panel rather the the gray/silver in the photo of the full scale. I am quite happy.
