Herringbone Gotha - Back on the go!

Alrighty, after a few months of distractions, this monster is back on the go!  Admins - probably makes sense to move this over to the WIP board now that Iron Rain is done, right?

 

There's a goal of having this done before the WWI family day at Udvar-Hazy Center, November 3rd for anyone who will be in the area.  I'll have some biplanes on display with my IPMS chapter that day.

 

The "replacement" wing is now fully covered in Aviattic night lozenge. Some touch-up needed but I love how it turned out. Fuselage has had a bunch of touch-up paint and is finally glued to the lower wing. Rexx exhausts are glued on and really look the part.

 

The Proper Plane wooden Gotha props are freaking stunning in place, even without their hubs.  The center hole drilled on the PP props (and cast in the hubs) is smaller in diameter than the kit prop shaft, so i simply scraped and sanded the kit shaft down until the new props fit.

High-tech rig for gluing large objects in place!
