mgbooyv8 Posted February 19, 2010 Author Share Posted February 19, 2010 Thanks, Texas! The IP installed in the cockpit: This is the last time the cockpit can be seen. The canopy came next. The fit is not that great. It was a bad decision years ago to leave the canopy loose. I fixed it in place with wood glue. ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgbooyv8 Posted February 19, 2010 Author Share Posted February 19, 2010 .... and added the decal in front of it. It turned out to be too wide, so I had to cut it in three pieces to make it fit. So that's even more touching up to do. Now I have to paint the line on the belly and add white stripes to the edges of it. After that, it is touching up time. Stay tuned!

mgbooyv8 Posted March 23, 2010 Author Share Posted March 23, 2010 ..... and my interpretation from pictures of the stripe on the belly: Sooo, that leaves only the engine, wing struts, tail skid and pitot tube. Stay tuned! Cheers, Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted Barrett Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Hi Peter, Marvellous job on I think my favorite of the Thompson trophy racers (although I kinda like Mr. Smoothie almost as much). Can't wait to see her finished off! Ted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mgbooyv8 Posted April 7, 2010 Author Share Posted April 7, 2010 Hi guys, Many thanks for the compliments en the encouragement!! David, I think you can very well master the colour scheme of the GeeBee Not much progress until today. The wing struts are on and gaps are sealed with white glue. Pics will follow later when also the engine is worth showing. Cheers, Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
