Thanks Katie,
Never intended to build a show plane, just wanted to do the best I could and be happy with it. Got talked into entering the compatition not even knowing what was involved. Compatition must have been week that year 
The important factor to me is that it flys like a dream!
(PS: I do have two smiles that I will leave in place for ever. They were created by my 86 year old dad who slipped with the rivet gun in a really hard place to reach. I was inside with the bucking bar and knew right away what happened. At first I was unhappy but after thinking about it for a few days and knowing it wasnt structural or even visable to most casual observers, I decided to leave them as a legacy to my father. The judges at Kosh didn't even see them or if they did, didnt mention them!)

Being fastidious , every little mark bothered me. Then one day a friend said; look at them as birth marks. They are memories of the time spent with a great hobby. And if they really bother you , well then replace.
I mostly took his advice . And still the plane is near perfect I've been told.
