    Working on details while waiting for higher temperatures. Added the red vinyl to the cockpit area and the chrome Cherokee 140 logos to the cowl. Hopefully tomorrow I can finish the white painting.

    Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% Piper Cherokee Glass Fuselage Build.

    Local autobody supply stores. The white is a PPG product and the red is a Nason product, both are acrylic enamel with hardener. I normally se PPG Omni line, their second tier and cheaper product. Of course this is all glass so auto paint works fine. Might try the paint on a fabric covering...

    I've had good luck with Falcon carbon spinners but nothing in the 5" range. I have few old carboin spinners made by Pete that worked well in 4 1/2" and 5" size.

    That's what's we're hoping for! Thanks Mike! Grandsons are here overnight into tomorrow, might get another day of curing. With the color on before May 1, I'm a month ahead of schedule so who cares.

    Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% Piper Cherokee Glass Fuselage Build.

    Put the red to it today. Had to re-mask the fin and rudder, used 1/4" fine line at first but it didn't like the corrugations. Pulled it off and used 1/8"fine line, still had a little leakage. Need to paint the white piper logo behind the rear windows and touch up some white. Then final...

    Here are the color codes provided by the full scale owner. When I had the paint mixed, I believe the color name that came up was Cardinal Red. Started masking the trim, should be ready to paint tomorrow.

    Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% Piper Cherokee Glass Fuselage Build.

    Not having a good run, shorted out the USB cable on my laptop while working on an Arduino board, bought a new laptop. At any rate the parts came for the compressor and it's back running. This was my first real experience using Mason paint and I am quite pleased with the results. Started...

    Laid out and masked the wheel pants, started mixing the paint and fired up the air compressor, at about 90 psig, the cooling fan blew apart. Will hopefully pickup the new fan and rebuild kit tomorrow at the local Graingers. If not I will take the masking off.

    Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% Piper Cherokee Glass Fuselage Build.

    No, it is too much trouble weighting the plane, I put as little paint on as I could. Still need the red. I have the plane sitting on the gear laying out the wheel pants trim with the aid of a laser level. The trim lines slope down at rest, I have the nose wheel blocked up 3/4" based on...

    Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% Piper Cherokee Glass Fuselage Build.

    Weather was on my side to day, put the white to it. One light coat of white urethane sealer and one coat of white acrylic enamel with hardener. Will mask the red trim in a few days. Thinking I will do the wheel pants first since I need to mount them on the plane to lay out then do the...

    Did you use anything to help the covering stick back down like Balsarite? I see there's another product called Cover Grip made by Deluxe.

    The fuselage to fin transition is one of the more challenging areas on an airplane. Either covering or do the wood work.
